The line from MySpace's crash and burn to Meta's flailing seems tenuous at best.
MySpace really did crash and burn. There was nothing tying users to the site. Meta on the other hand has multiple properties with enormous captive audiences who mostly aren't going anywhere.
Sure, Meta's on the decline and TikTok is on the rise. But until TikTok opens up a Marketplace competitor or Groups competitor or TikTok produces a messenger that allows you to DM your Grammy a heart emoji on her cheap Android phone, FB and Meta will be mostly fine (and simply declining) for years.
