It's Amazon, followed closely by Alphabet (Google), because they provide the technical and advertising backbone either directly or via subsidiaries for vast portions of the Internet.

If all social media sites shut down forever, it wouldn't affect me one bit.

What you as a singular individual likes/uses/dislikes/doesn't use has zero bearing on the scope of this question. At best it seems to be a humblebrag communicating some sort of perceived superiority. In any case it adds nothing to the conversation.
The Dead Milkmen had a song, "Now Everybody's Me," about a dream the singer had in which his taste and behavior was exactly matched by the rest of the population. It turned out even the singer concluded it was not that great of a world.
1) God damned FOX News
2) Facebook
3) Twitter (down a spot in my rankings after last month)
4) NYT
5) YouTube
6) WSJ

I left off TikTok because a higher percentage of its demographic is not old enough to vote or influence voters. WaPo has Bezos'd its way off the list. In fact, the only reason NYT makes my list is because of its online presence.

Disagree respectfully on TikTok. I would make it 7 here. For all ages, old and young, it's become the most efficient way to learn new stuff in "micro bite" style content without getting distracted or losing focus. Love it or hate it.

Think it was last summer on a group text with about 12 hs buddies, someone sent a video from Tik Tok. Think there were only two or three
of us who didn't have the app. have it now.
