Evan Spiegel might have a point in regard to Facebook "imploding" respectively declining in the medium term, although I would have not placed VC sponsored Ad-Money at the top reason.

Personally, I rather see a decrease of "traditional" user engagement as a growing risk for Facebook. I have the feeling that a lot of user attention is currently shifting from Facebook to other services as each FBs user stream seem is becoming ever more non-personal and is nowadays primarily used to push and promote offers and services and semi-public personalities.

That Snapchat on the hand I believe, might have an even higher chance of "imploding" due to its unsure commercial application as well as its probably super change affine / non-loyal users.

Someday Facebook will lose it's position at the top, maybe sooner than later. Nobody knows that answer, not even the Snapchat CEO. While Snapchat is an insanely popular app, it isn't profitable. This is a gigantic, difficult step in the process that they may never take. My bet would be on Snapchat's demise preceding Facebook's.
