Is The Known Universe Eventually Just Going To Eat Itself?

I see, hear, and read about black holes and their consumption power often. They grow as they consume. Eventually, as they keep growing and consuming, wouldn’t they combine and continue the process until they become so large as to devour everything in existence?

The distance between things in the universe is mind-bogglingly vast and those distances are increasing as far as we know, and so no single black hole will consume everything.

This time lapse video covers theories of the distant future and the fate of black holes, though I’m not sure a 5yo is ready for the existential dread that ensues watching it.
