You can't grow with an audience base filled with 50 year olds.

You can't grow when you have onboarded most of the world with access to internet. (total users is 2B. When they are not even in China)

Facebook can still grow its revenue even if the number of users is constant if: (a) Users become richer over time; (b) Users spend more time online; (c) Facebook can improve the algorithm that matches ads to users
