It changes nothing. It's not social media. Convince me harder.

You're just flat out wrong here

Social media are interactive technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of content, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through virtual communities and networks

Says you. Social media is a way to influence clout or gain recognition large and small in scope.

By your logic digital advertisements are also social media. Wrong.
