Buying a company out is much cheaper than it disrupting you .


true but future companies are under no obligation to sell and as facebook's reputation goes down the gutter i would say are even not likely


The future companies that don’t accept buy outs and are successful are obviously the ones who will beat you .


SnapChat?


True but future companies’ decisions to sell will in almost all cases not be based on FB’s reputation - even if it goes down the gutter - than the material terms of the acquisition.

And as for those that don’t get acquired, I think we can all take a quick look at Snap’s market performance and bleeding execs. That’s not to say that FB will not be disrupted - everyone eventually is. Just that it doesn’t seem likely to happen anytime in the near future.
