if there is even just one blackhole, wouldnt it just keep on consuming matter and eventually consume everything?

Black holes function by extreme density/gravitational pull. The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between them, ie the force between two objects 10 miles away is 1/100 the force between two objects 1 mile away. Space is REALLY big, so even though the gravitational force of a black hole is unfathomably strong, the distances between objects in the universe are so big it doesn’t have the ability to pull in objects that aren’t already close to it
