To be blunt, GameFAQs is losing users because games are becoming easier and easier to play. Nobody gets "stuck" in a game these days, because the games always have a difficulty setting that removes all the challenge from it.
It's not just that, but also because the most popular games right now are not games that lend themselves to FAQing. If you get stuck in Call of Duty, are you going to look at an FAQ that describes where you're supposed to go / who you should shoot, or just watch a video where it all gets conveyed a hell of a lot faster?
FAQs work better for RPGs, but for action games videos are winning out.
