I mean, it could still have been responsible for popularising it.

Sure as well as every other social media platform since the inception of the internet. I remember seeing Flat Earth insanity on myspace, digg, and even fark. But no one runs around and claims flat earth was popularized on those sites. What they're saying above isn't based in reality unless you're willing to say the same about every single social media platform.
