Earth's population was about 3 billion in 1960. Now it's over 7.5 billion. So even with Thanos' finger-snap wiping out half of all life on Earth, the population will double again in about 50 years.
So what exactly was Thanos' motivation for killing half of the universe? To "save" the universe for about 50 years?

Assuming civilization can pick it's self up after having half a population wiped out like that. We really don't know what other deaths were caused from the snappening.
Hell there could be a high suicide rate afterwards.

Do we know that Thanos was never going to snap his fingers again?

The plan has flaws, one being he can shape all of time and reality why not just create more resources and reverse the damage of pollution and over taxing resources on the universe, you know he's a nutter he acts nutty.

Congrats, you've figured out that the bad guy is being illogical despite his claim to have all the answers. Imagine that. Maybe that's why he's the bad guy in the story?

Beyond a certain point, he probably doesn't really care if he does. Just so long as he feels right or gets to dominate/beat others into submission. It's already been hinted that he's lying about Gamora's homeworld.

Do we know that Thanos was never going to snap his fingers again? So you're saying that Thanos' plan is to snap his fingers every 50 years or so?

The logical response to such a horrific mass culling is the universal introduction of planetary population control to prevent it from happening again. Obviously, Thanos understands that, as would most people who saw the movie.

Also he goal was to balance the universe. Creating endless supply of resources wouldn't balance it.

Also he goal was to balance the universe. Creating endless supply of resources wouldn't balance it. 1: Would if he created something that produced sustainable resources for eternity so long as population growth didn't explode, there by actually encouraging planets, governments and even people to be responsible and not mindless fuckers.
2: Who even said anything about creating an endless supply? I didn't I said more and reversing damage civilisation has caused to planets, essentially resetting stuff so that now people know the dangers of overtaxing a planets resources they wouldn't do so again now with hindsight.
So don't go putting words into my mouth...or anything else for that matter, unless it's Chinese spare ribs if you have some of them then gimme gimme gimme

Thanos is a cartoon villain, accordingly his plan was pretty silly to be begin with:
1. Limitless recources: when you have a civilaization that masters interstellar travel with ease you do not have a Small Earth/Limited Recources problem. You'd get real estate and entire planets of carbon-diamand, gold or any other element-recources set out in the periodic table. The real problem would be inflation if your currancy are linked to raw materials (most civilized currencies are not anymore).
2. Who loves you, baby? Randomly and blindly killing off half the population is pretty stupid, it would hit your best people, family including yourself. If you want to engage in psychopathic genozide to "better" the world you better limit the killing to one specified target group.
3. Misconceptions: Also, there go several sociodemocratic and sociological fallacies with this plan, as these vid explain:

They just make sense to the hat wearer Particularly considering this started out a puppy love in the books. It was to show his devotion to the Goddess of Death. To make her love him It isnt just people. Its half of all living things Animals as well meaning if there were 5 white rhinos, there would be 2 or 3 left. Service animals.etc. He claimed more resources but plants are living. Did he just wipe out half the plants? If not, why did we lose Groot?

You'd get real estate and entire planets of carbon-diamand, gold or any other element-recources set out in the periodic table. The real problem would be inflation if your currancy are linked to raw materials (most civilized currencies are not anymore). Yep, if your civilization is capable of interstellar travel, then you don't have a population growth problem because your civilization can expand to other worlds. 2. Who loves you, baby? Randomly and blindly killing off half the population is pretty stupid, it would hit your best people, family including yourself. If you want to engage in psychopathic genozide to "better" the world you better limit the killing to one specified target group. Yep, even in Deep Impact, when they had built underground shelters that could save a few million people, they made sure to select scientists, teachers, etc. people who could contribute significantly to rebuilding society. Randomly killing half the population could result in killing off some of the most brilliant minds and thus hampering the efforts to rebuild a thriving society.
