I really dont understand your definition as every human interaction across all mediums could be defined as social media. And yet the term and the tools did not exist prior to 2003ish... So was Usenet social media? Was Aol and Prodigy?

Yes. Sometimes new terms come in later? Not really surprising.

I was getting dopamine hits on 4chan and GameFAQs in 2005 when I was 12. I'd call it social media.
