View submission: Is Reddit considered social media?
To me, social media has to have an element of familiarity or identification with the people that you engage with, such as on Facebook or Twitter. Reddit is largely anonymous. People often use throwaway accounts so that they won't be identified by those that they know personally. There are so many people on this website that almost no two people that reply to anyone's comments will be the same. I very rarely ever keep seeing the same usernames showing up, aside from on smaller subreddits and the more "popular" Redditors.
Maybe I'm out of touch and my view of what social media is isn't what it's generally accepted to be, but those are my views anyway.
There's nothing here!
