Comment on Welcome to the Age of Paid Social Media

No, Reddit was always considered social media. Social media managers have had Reddit in their job description for over ten years. I know because I hired some as early as 2010.

Social media did not start with Facebook like most people assume. Facebook is simply what brought social media into the mainstream. Usenet and forums are a form of social media that many of us old nerds have been using since the 90s.

forums are a form of social media

I think a good destiction would be social network and socical media. Media is about celeberty and making money. Network is about conections

  I completely disagree with your definition of “media.” There is definitely plenty of media that isn’t about celebrity, and there is also non-profit media. Media actually refers to communication to the masses. A social network is simply one form of social media.
