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.
