      I hate that “social media” is such a broad umbrella term. It totally lacks useful context. “Social networking site” is great, straightforward and descriptive. But “social media” encompasses every way we communicate with each other except for “traditional media” which got grandfathered through. BBS predates the internet!

      All that to say: YouTube is, for many, a public-access TV station and I’m too young to be this mad about it.

      Would be my only answer, unless Lemmy is there too. Although I watch YouTube with ad block and sponsor block and never post a comment. So it’s just a one way stream of only useful information (I don’t watch junk, only stuff I learn from)
