Social media wasn’t a thing back when IRC was big but it did basically the same as modern social media sites do today: people connected and talked.
And I would argue that Twitch/Discord/YouTube do different things than Facebook or Twitter in the end all of those places are there to connect and talk about stuff (and to harvest money and data).
