> You could technically have something called social media that has low populations, but it would be so functionally different from the actual thing that using the same name becomes questionable. It would basically be OG Facebook, which was a pivotal point in the development of social media. Facebook pivoted to focus on massive populations where everyone interacted with everyone, instead of the small subset of people you actually know. Perhaps I'm alone in this experience, but social media in 2021 is vastly different in both form and function to social media in 2011. I'm not making a value judgement on which is better, but the two things barely resemble each other to me.
