Yeah that and LiveJournal. And then it just kept going down from there in terms of self-expression, effort, quality, personal, actually-SOCIAL-media, etc.

"Social media" went from blogging and commenting with your friends and others to watching videos of ads interspersed with random memes and shit.

Quite a slide.
