It certainly is an umbrella term. Overloaded terms usually do lose meaning. I think it means any form of media that acts or behaves as a social venue to convey personal submissions. YouTube is an example of a Media company that has social media elements but isn't a social media site. But when we look at TikTok at least in its original state it was purely short form media in which a user can socially communicate thoughts and ideas through a short clip. With comments. Those elements and that being the main appeal make it social media.
