It's like those articles that hedge their outrageous predictions. "Facebook is probably going to be supplanted in 5 years, but then again they own Instagram and WhatsApp, so they might be fine". What is it going to be, Nostradamus?!

It's either going to be supplanted, or it won't be. There is no third option. You're welcome.

You seem confused. No one implied that there was a third option.

False. Facebook could retain all the Boomers, but coexist for awhile with other social media dominating the millennial market.

I wonder why this is downvoted... MySpace and Facebook coexisted in a very similar dynamic for several years before Facebook opened to everyone.
