Is it possible Facebook will die out one day?

Though Facebook hasn't suffered the same fate as MySpace and other social sites, the idea that it will be around forever is starting to feel real. I did not expect Facebook to stay around this long, and yet, it's still alive and kicking. MySpace is mostly a dead platform, but Facebook gets consistent traffic year in and year out, and continues to grow in size and popularity.

Not only that, but they own Snapchat and Instagram, which means they have a hold on the market big time.

Anyway, do you think that Facebook could one day die out? Or will it become the new homepage of the internet as I feel it already has?

I will be honest that quite a while ago I did think that Facebook wouldn't be around so many years later mainly due to the issues that were surrounding them and such and how many were saying about not using them anymore. I and many were very wrong as they are still around now and being that they do seem to be thriving now more than ever, I don't see them ever phasing out any time soon if at all in the next say 5 years. So many people have grown so used to Facebook that it has become a routine for them to jump on daily to catch up with friends and family and to just keep up with the goings on in life and the world. Will it ever phase out? Maybe one day but I think that is a long way off yet.

It is tough to foresee the future, but Facebook is unlikely to go away very soon. The corporation is a global powerhouse with a vast and dedicated user base. Furthermore, in order to remain relevant and competitive in the market, Facebook is always developing and releasing new features.

Well, impossibility is nothing but I don't see facebook die out anytime soon. The only that can happen to facebook is rebranding. But for it to die out, I don't see that happening for many reasons. Currently, facebook I the most popular and the most accepted social media. The number staff and people that depends on facebook are many.

You're very correct. In life, you can't say never. For me, personally, I do not facebook die out anytime soon, even in future. Facebook is a world on its own. I don't know what can make you to stop working.

Because we know that there is nothing last forever, it's can be sure that one day it can be no more, the owner of Facebook can decide that no to operate on Facebook again.

Facebook has a large user base and a significant amount of resources, which could help it adapt to changing trends and remain relevant. Facebook also owns other popular platforms such as Instagram and WhatsApp, which could provide a cushion against decline in the core Facebook platform.

No, while the growth has slowed, it is largely because most already have Facebook pages.There are still increasing users. Facebook has many more years left. It is not dying but maybe loosing alot of tractions.
