Chinese have their own national equivalent, and other nations/regions are making their own
and FB's core base is about to get shrank by the government, not to mention from changing consumer tastes

FB had one hell of a first mover advantage, but its over now, and they waited much too long to diversify
their main advantage is userbase size, and they have not done enough with it to profit, considering how that size is going to hurt them as they seek further growth
they cannot expand at their current rate, it is insane to expect them to have another 2 billion user growth in the time that they got to their first 2 billion, even if you assume that people are not moving onto new platforms

they wont disappear overnight, but theres a good chance that they have reached their peak already, unless they are able to ride another market-wide wave up

their headwinds are too strong, they have no edge besides luck and size (from things that were out of the companies own control)
they rode a wave up, at a great time to do it, but you cant expect that wave to last forever

they might be a stable hold for ten years, but they wont be a good growth position from their current levels in any timeline that people here care about
