One possibility is that a Facebook account becomes something that most people have but they seldom use, like a LinkedIn account.

The news feed could get less interesting, resulting in fewer visits.

I think this is already the case and is why FB doesn’t want to get rid of the offending content, for many users this is the only thing still keeping them engaged. Turn that off and it’s just a stream of advertising, memes, and dinner pics.
