You may be right. I wouldn't put big bets against you being right. However...
Back when MySpace I was doing a lot of my leisure reading in the business press. Lots and lots of people thought MySpace was eternal, too big to fail, going to rule the social media world forever. I don't know how many of those people actually lived their social lives or organized their businesses around it, like indy bands were doing. But for lots of people, the decline of MySpace was very hard to visualize. And yet, decline it did.
Right now, the decline of Facebook is very hard to visualize. I can't really see a plausible scenario for it. My historical view tells me that all hegemonic empires look unassailable. But in the end, barbarians eat every last one of them. Is Facebook different? Is Facebook immune to history? Maybe...
