Is YouTube a socmed site?
I would answer that with yes, because it has (video)posts, comments, likes, follows etc.
but i agree that it's an edge case, because many aren't using it like social media
It used to be a lot more. You were able to add friends, and video replies appeared at the bottom of the video. Old YouTube legit felt like a community of people.
Makes me wonder how they count "active users". Is watching a video active or just when you comment?
Does it allow you to be social and participate in conversations?
So yes.
The content (the videos) are also made by its users, that used to be one of the key features of social media back when the term first appeared.
