I think you greatly underestimate humanity's need to be distracted.
Distraction is a much more competitive space. Human connection is the one area where social media has an edge. AI content, spam, bot users, etc. erode the basic trust and feeling of connection.
As it gets harder to avoid those, people will seek distraction elsewhere. No one likes being embarrassed.
I think you underestimate the inertia of the masses too. It takes a hell of a lot to get people to willingly jump ship, especially old people who are a very large portion of FB users.
I think it's easy to think that the general population has the same mindset as Lemmy users on this, but the vast majority of people just don't care enough to disrupt their habits.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong and this kills FB, but I won't be holding my breath.
