I think no, Facebook as long life because Facebook is smart enough, and see where they need to make changes. Even the BNBR rules used here would make a difference. I see a lot of teens using it still, to organize their political marches and to express their input on political issues. Believe me, teens know grandpa's and grandma's vote too and want ALL eyes on what needs to be said. Besides, it's a “lets be friends” site, and not just questions and answers. And you have private message with video chat and are able to post 500 pictures of your puppy. I realize theres other “fun” sites out there too, but I can see Facebook making changes to improve their face too, more appealing to teens as well. Its well established already, not trying to come out as another “new site”. They definitley have started on these changes too. They could change their symbol too . Older folks wouldn't be put out if they did that. I think they will figure it out.

That why I say Facebook has long life.

I thin face book is ended soon because As today’s kids mature into teens, they’ll hop on something new that is more relevant to them, away from the prying eyes and of their parents and their political/religious posts, ads, and reposts from Reddit. Their switching costs are low as they are new market entrants and “all their friends” are using it. This could happen next week, next month, next year. A couple of teens working in their University dorm are probably already working on a next generation social media company that addresses all of Facebook’s annoyances.

As the younger generation switches platforms, Facebook’s growth will slow, advertisers will switch, investors will dump the stock, and Facebook will become the next Yahoo or AOL: only relevant to few die hard fans but no longer a leading tech company.

Unless Facebook can continue to innovate and drive new ways to engage the younger generations, it will die a slow death. It’s just a matter of time.

This is my reason.

I think "no" because many people are still using Facebook. And every day many new people are joining this platform.

@joel0101, you said, and I quote

Fourth point, facebook never really proved that it was able to adapt to new technologies since 2008. Indeed, I wonder whether they really considered blockchain as an interesting improvement in their strategies. The latest actions leading to forbid ICO advertisement and blockchain related information proves that they are not willing to go with the new paradigm.

Facebook considering blockchain as an interesting improvement in their strategies ? Why should they ? Facebook themself cannot do such, its as if you're trying to endanger their platform. Facebook promoting cryptocurrency isn't such a good idea to them(the facebook team). Its what they should do but, they'll lose some users to the crypto world. They've lost some users like my friends and I already..lol.

When was the last time you visit your facebook page ??

Facebook ?? Can't even remember that

I agree with you, I think they have a huge problem, leaking data and losing users on a daily basis. All empires end some day and now my feed, which I very occasionally visit is full of ads and companies but no sign of friends lol

Is Facebook coming to an end?? My answer is yes!! Just that the process might be very slow. Little by little user are moving away to other platform which they think are better alternative to Facebook. As a steemians I don't think I can give my Facebook account a personal write up when I know I can post it here on steemit and gain something off the writing.It's that straightforward. Weissman reports that Facebook lost a whopping 4% of time spent on the platform in November of last year. And has lost an amazing 18% of time spent on its site in December! But it's not just Facebook. Instagram lost 9% of user time spent on the platform. AMAZING!.. User are up for better platform just like steemit or maybe the up coming sola.

Do you think Facebook will laylow and allow other platforms in the system move user away from them.

Zuckerberg also said he plans to study encryption and the blockchain “see how best to use them in our services"

People might still leave Facebook If other platform pays better.

Yes. Y should I go through the stress of uploading my picture on Facebook when I can get money when I do the same thing on sola??

Datz it ... Y should I do a writing on Facebook when I can get sbd with it on steemit.. Facebook is coming to an end

Why posting on facebook when you can post and make money from it on sola... Bro, you're a real hustler. Lol...

It's is not much of a hustle. He is just moving with the crowd to a better pasture.

Yeah bro, to a better pasture

No! I don't think so. Facebook is the largest social media of Internet. Sir, @thepassenger this is very interesting to ask people in openly..!! Keep it up sir. Best wishes to you sir.

Definitely No! because most people around the world are using facebook by the means of communication. Most people know facebook more than other social media. Sir @thepassenger this question can critics ones mind. Keep it up sir! thank you.

I think yes. Personally, I'm the one who started leaving facebook. Although not yet to delete it permanently, but facebook pages have rarely opened since last few months. There are several reasons that make me a little bored with the social media platform. First, the emergence of various spam from users. Secondly, people who do tagging at will, like selling one then make my personal page full of info that is not interesting and not important at all. Third, the emergence of info hoax that can not be dammed at all because everyone can easily make facebook. Fourth, I do not want to be hypocritical about this. Anyone wants to reward, though the process of getting it is very difficult, as it does in steemit. Because there is no financial benefit is what might make me prefer other platforms in pouring something, either writing, photos, video, etc.

A little note, if facebook change the pattern that prevails so far into blockchain that generate new coffers for users, maybe he will be more successful again as a social media.

Agree, either they change their model and adapt...or bye!

Yes surely, though not now, will gradually be abandoned. People may not delete it permanently, but will leave it for granted. And that has an effect on the number of visits that ultimately continue to decline. I so remember how friendster interest first, but because unable to bring the better, he must close. Again, though it's slowly, but ultimately bye.

No, I don't think so because it has still the most number of users. But, at least for me it's coming to an end. I rarely check my Facebook account now. I do not have use for it anymore because when I look at my feed I mostly see fake news and I don't like it.

Same here! Thanks for joining :)

Nope. Most people now use facebook to update their status and get updates to their circle of friends. It's what mostly used to communicate. I personally dont use mobile messaging anymore since facebook messenger is a great way to message people that I dont personally know(when buying and selling things on facebook). FB Groups is a great way to connect to people with same interests. Group chat is also great tool to message people all at once. And a feasible way of advertising your businesses to the whole world!

i think facebook missed at some point the important of friends. everyone moved to whatsapp so they can talk with their friends directly without ads in my opinion. Thanks for joining!
