> Usenet, BBSs, mailing lists etc. are social media In a generic sense, yes. People did socialize. But "social media" today really means: a proprietary platform controlled by a single corporation, where all the user interaction is ultimately just a ploy to keep the participation metrics up so the corporation can profile you better and sell more advertising. So in that sense, the absolute opposite. |
