It's more of a hybrid between forums and social media, but they're of type "link aggregator" or in other words, the whole point is to post articles and then have discussions about them.
When Reddit was just getting started all you could do was post links to articles, no pictures and people loved it for that. Pictures came later, but even then depended on those pics just being another link hosted somewhere else (that's where imgur came in) it was years before you could upload a picture direct to reddit
Yes which existed for decades before social media ever came about. Link aggregators and forums are their own thing and should never be classified with social media.
