I struggle to see anything "social" about social media. Looking at short videos of others and ads is anything but social activity.

The problem is that people who don't know the history of the internet just call everything with user posts "social media". Web 2.0 has some overlap with social networks. But it is still a different concept. And social media is a meaningless term at this point.
