A fair point. That one is a blind spot for me because I do not use the social aspects of the platform.

Isn’t the vast majority of YouTube videos user-generated content?

I think social media implies there's more than one person involved, if you only watch videos and read no comments that's not really social media. The vast majority of Google search results is user generated content as well
