#2The new york times seems to have a personal agenda against facebook. Their reporting is unfair and wrong at best.

#3You can't fool me, NYT. Salty about loss in revenue and readers? That you are no longer alone in controlling the public narrative?
The media vendetta against facebook is blatantly obvious. Note that in the true spirit of collectivism the NYT never accepts that the user of a social network has any responsibility of using it like a grown up at all, instead the users are seen like little children who have to be guarded and guided by the corporation.
What happens when NYT goes the way of MySpace? Probably article like these.

Wouldn't it be easy for you to post an example of the article being wrong, then? Otherwise it looks like you have a personal agenda against the new york times.

Haven’t you heard?
Even the esteemed President of the United States acknowledges the problem with the NYT.

#6> in the United States and Canada
And that key detail is why this article is wrong. US and Canada are certainly most lukrative markets in terms of profit per single user, but they are far, far from the only markets in the world. Facebook usage in North America may start stagnating in the next few years, but it is still rapidly growing in other areas. And after that, well, you just run out of people in the whole humanity itself - and that's not a business problem that we have any historical example of.

#7This article reads like something between a hit-piece and a I-don't-like-Facebook-opinion-piece.
A similarly article could be written about Google but it is not. I think the interesting question is why not?

What Happens When Google Goes the Way of Myspace?
Google earned more than $XXX billion in profit last quarter, and yet it has spent much of 2018 trapped in a defensive crouch. This year was defined by brutal press coverage, internal strife, executive departures and unwanted attention from authorities. The company stands accused of various offenses: degrading politics; empowering despots; leaving users vulnerable to abuse; abusing its users’ data for profit. It is in a constant state of crisis such that its executives’ responses to scandals end up becoming scandals themselves.
But the single event most pertinent to Google’s future, and with the most explanatory power regarding its recent past, came in Xxx, when the company admitted its flagship site had found a worrying limit. In late 2017, XXX million people a day were using Google in the United States and Canada. Despite strenuous efforts — you may have noticed more notifications lately — that number hasn’t been exceeded since.
...
The advertising data exposed in a user’s personal Google archive is, of course, just a sliver of what is available to the company. Google’s real profile of who you are — the one that it uses to fill your feeds and show you ads — is far more comprehensive. The company’s relentless accumulation of user data isn’t just a grab for power or a default behavior. It’s a long-term investment. You may forget Google; it could happen sooner than you expect. But it’s not likely to forget you.

Also, we have to discount for the bubble of information that we sweat about as tech community. Outside of tech community, very few people seems to be noticing this and DAU/MAU for FB were even reported to have bit increased, although at lower rate. One cannot escape to see that NYT wants to hit FB in anyway it possibly can. When they don’t have news they line up opinion pieces.

#10Facebook as a website can go the way of MySpace. But Facebook as a company will probably not. The subject is touched a bit toward the end of the article but the reality is this: Facebook has reached a critical mass, as a company, that MySpace never did.
As such, they can just continue to buy all the other new social network that pop-up and make sure that they have a dominant position in the social network market. Unless they make a big mistake (which completely possible), Facebook, as any modern dominant company, will just continue consolidating and securing their market share.
