I really wish people would communicate better when talking about things like this. The vague language being used here puts an artificial cap on how in-depth answers to this question can actually be.
Facebook isn't going to literally end (i.e. go bankrupt and dissolve) this year. It's too big to fail in that sense. Keep in mind that MySpace is still around. I'm guessing this isn't the kind of ending you're talking about.
So if you don't mean literally end, what do you mean by end?
Lose their dominance? In what space are we talking about them losing dominance (ads, social networks, something else)? Keeping in mind that for them to lose their dominance in any of these spaces in 2017 a viable competitor probably has to exist already.
Or are we talking about their markets shrinking? I.e. people realizing that social media is toxic and quitting in droves to some arbitrary low point (let's say, they lose half their active users)?
And in either of these cases, what would keep them from simply shifting spaces?
I'm sure some intelligent conversations will come out of this, but that's only because people on here will pick a possible meaning of your question and run with it. There would be a lot larger of an intelligent conversation if people chose their words for specific meaning rather than this clickbait-y silliness.
