I hate that it's called social media. I don't come here for media, I come for social. It makes it sounds like a news service but I hate the news.

I Googled for "why is it called social media" and see arguments that "social media isn't actually very social", explanations about "what is it that makes social media 'social'?" etc...
But nothing focusing on the question of "why do we describe it as a news service instead of a place for friends?"

I think maybe I even miss MySpace a little...

@dan Media is the plural of medium. Essentially the means of which information can be transmitted.

So really it's a misnomer to call news "the media".

@neversosimple Wow, thanks for such a perfect response 🙂
It probably seems a bit weird but I'm kind of "mind blown" lol, as this had been bugging me for so long and now it's not, I wish I'd asked about it sooner!
@dan Glad I could help 😄
