>> That is happening with Facebook, will happen with Instagram

Even if FB loses 200 million users, they still have over 800 active million users. Same with Insta.

Most of the platforms listed had a few million users when they ran into issues and collapsed. When you think about all the blatant privacy issues FB has been caught red handed doing and they still they boast over a billion active users?

At this point, I can't imagine anything sans a government intervention via a breakup that would put a dent in the FB user base.

I’d say the fall of facebook will be like the fall of Rome. It’ll peter along for a while dysfunctionally and then there will be a rapid decline when something in the model gives way. There’ll still be vestiges of it across the Internet for many years to come though.
