    Wikipedia strongly disagrees with your definition

      I don’t give one shit what Wikipedia says. I’ve argued this on here before. Wikipedia’s definition includes every website on the planet because of how wide ranging and useless of a definition it is. Defining social media in that way makes the meaning useless and only serves politicians who want to block things they dislike on the internet. Essentially “social media” == internet to them.

        You’re welcome to your whacky opinion. Just pointing out that it’s uniquely yours 🙂

          But it’s not. Someone edited wikipedia to put a definition only cited in one business article from 2010. It was never the common definition until news companies started calling anything they didn’t understand “social media” because it became a catch all. Forums aren’t social media.

            You’re pretending most people wouldn’t call Reddit social media. That’s absurd.
