None of the item you listed have _anything_ to do with being a social media platform. Is it a website that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking? Yes, then it’s a social media platform, period.

Besides, nowadays pretty much any random content website (including newspapers) have infinite scroll, algorithmic content recommendation (btw, content recommendation is algorithmic by definition), untargeted content and ads (= the user is the product) while not always being a social media platform.
