I have heard the term news aggregator too. What do these definitions mean to you? How would you define the category?

    They are user forums/social media.

    News Aggregator is only accurate if the sites actually scrape the web for news. Here and the other place rely almost entirely on users and bots for content. Since users and bots are neither hired or employed by the sites it’s disingenuous to claim either generates anything at all. Neither site is relevant without the user generated content.
