I don’t know if it’s your argument for the decline of facebook being false, but it doesn’t have to come from competition or viable alternatives.
People stopping doing something happens all the time, companies going down because of decreasing interest in their service is a normal thing.
- danso 8y agoWhich companies of Facebook's size and dominance have gone out because people simply stopped using them? The demises of Sears and Toys R Us were huge news, despite the obvious fact that they had long been beaten by competitors.
- hrktb 8y agoFor companies the size of facebook, it usually comes with disrupton of the whole industry making incumbants obsolete when people flock to the new behaviors. That’s in part what happened to Kodak / Polaroid, or Blockbuster, ot Blackerry / Nokia. That’s not competition per se as other companies aren’t chalenging the incumbant, it’s the whole landscape that changes.
- metildaa 8y agoNone of the people my age that I spent this past evening with (barring my own brother) were still using facebook. An account exists for all of us, but when its gone months or years without use, and there is no Facebook app on your phone, I'd say that user is lost.
