We all quit watching the 2014 FIFA World Cup at the same time... so it's only a factor of 2 difference from that.

That's because the World Cup because it ended, not because we all decided that we didn't want to watch soccer any longer. That analogy would work if we all quit Facebook because Facebook shut off its servers. It doesn't work for people voluntarily quitting Facebook.
