Very few people actively delete their accounts, but platform eventually die if they can't attract the next generation (young users). Less than 20% of the youth use Facebook for example, because they don't want to be in the same platform as their parents watching them, it will be a long painful day death. Same thing can happen to any platform.
Facebook just hit it's record high of 4 billion monthly active users lol
Just because it's profitable now, doesn't mean it's going to be the case in the future or be sustainable (example, fossil fuels).
