YouTube is not really 'social media' unless by that one means 'audiovisual media created by non-corporate entities, fellow members of society'. I guess it can be if all you watch is GRWM and 'daily updates' videos...
Wait until you hear about people calling chat apps like WhatsApp social media.
In a society that uses terms such as "fake news" and "peaceful war", I'm not surprised words have lost meaning in all areas, lol.
Or fucking Venmo
There are plenty of smaller content creators that are interactive with the comment section. Then there is also just the comment section like we're doing right now. There are also live streams that get interactive as well. It's absolutely a social media platform.
Discussion boards existed way before what people consider 'social media' (MySpace, Facebook, and the list goes on), places where people talk not about a topic at hand but themselves. If you consider ALL OF IT social media then I guess I agree, sure. And live streams about themselves and not, like, an open discussion about a given topic is certainly what one would consider 'social media', but like I said it's all about what you do with the platform.
Because we didn't have the concept of "social media" before those sites. Or at least they weren't popular enough to get a new category dedicated to them.
Those were pretty much social sites using text with a tiny bit of media (occasional images).
Social media has a big emphasis on the media part, with video clips and images and so on for starting most of the discussions. Twitter started off mostly text and kind of became social media based on the screenshot I have seen of it.
