They have the same problem as Google, an initial cash cow and not really able to invent something new, which leaves them very vulnerable to shifts in market behavior (TikTok) or other things.

Which I would also add means they chase fads and have to buy their way into these developing markets, hoping they essentially find their own "facebook" to invest in that then hits big.
