Someone Rebuilt MySpace and Just Reached 1M Users

Check it out: SpaceHey.com

🇩🇪 The founder is Anton Röhm, and his bio reads…

22yo student from Germany who loves to code

He recently announced that the site has hit 1 million users and shared the origin story…

I launched SpaceHey at the end of 2020 – I had just graduated high-school, and the world was on Covid lockdown. I made SpaceHey, so my generation could experience the early days of social media – without a feed, likes and whatnot

Unclear how much money the site is making. I don’t see any ads on there, looks like the only monetization is via donations, stickers and merch 💵

But given the growth, the site could prove to be a great earner for Anton.

Got me thinking: maybe there are opportunities to rebuild and monetize other fondly-remembered websites from the early days of the internet 🤔

Such as…
