Not desires, needs

[@swashbuckle9856]

Social institutions are organized, patterned, and enduring sets of social structures that provide guidelines for behavior and help each society meet its basic survival needs. Yet I'm having a hard time understanding that they are not physical things. Could KZbin be considered a social institution due to the interaction from creator to viewer?

yes, I think you could say that youtube is a social institution in the general sense that people accept it as a tool for diffusing audio-visual content and exchange knowledge. people accept it, view it as normal and will possibly reproduce this behaviour should they need to do the same. however, the fact that youtube contributed to creating social institutions (such as the job of youtuber/influencer) is a consequence of it being an agent of socio-technical change. so, apart from creating social institutions it affects and condition human practices in a much wider variety of ways, not all of which create institutions.
