When you signed up for a MySpace account back in the day, Tom, the founder, was your first friend, added automatically. If memory serves, you couldn't remove him, either.

Oh wow! What a quirky feature.

Yuup. Not sure quite about the removal part, though.

iirc, you 100% could, but basically nobody did, because Tom was a bro. Everyone's bro.

My guess is that every MySpace user had to have at least 1 follower and they resolved that bug by making the owner your first friend.
