I think this is how it will end up. Rather than everyone sitting on facebook all day (like we used to back in the noughties), people will keep their accounts active, but only login occasionally, or for very specific purposes (e.g. setting up events).
Facebook started off as twitter, then added the kitchen sink. People thought they wanted the kitchen sink, but realised it wasn't worth the noise and/or privacy/security risks. Twitter itself has suffered 'feature creep', but to much less an extent. Facebook does have the 'monopoly' advantage, so I can imagine a lot of people will hang around out of inertia, but I also think that other competitors to very specific subsets will arrive, just as twitter did, and some will prefer to jump ship.
