Social media wasn't social in 2010 either.

    What exactly was this big shift in 2014?

    I dunno what he's referring to but the big changes for me for Facebook were:
    1. They let non-uni students on there. Suddenly my crazy aunt was sending me a friend request and they had no option for "be polite but I don't want to have anything to do with her". That diluted the amount of stuff I wanted to see.
    2. They allowed sharing posts. This just gradually turned it into shit Reddit.

    Pretty sure non-uni students were allowed on Facebook way before 2014

Not that the ‘social’ part was ever very good in the first place, but they are right, it’s not social anymore.
