- dannyw 9y agoOlder?! Kik’s demographic is far younger than anything.
- wutbrodo 9y agoAre you sure? This wasn't my impression and what I'm seeing from a quick Google is pretty different on multiple counts: "Quite surprisingly, close to 70% of Kik’s users are men. It is most popular among young men between ages 20-24. Vine and Flickr are popular among men too, though their users tend to be a little older: 25-29 and 35-39, respectively. Not so surprisingly, Instagram and Pinterest are more popular among women than men. Women also prefer Facebook Messenger over WhatsApp and Kik" http://www.vertoanalytics.com/the-demographics-of-social-media-properties-looking-beyond-downloads/ http://www.vertoanalytics.com/the-demographics-of-social-med...
- amyjess 9y agoKik is pretty popular among camgirls. Usually paying for a subscription to them gets you added to their contents on Kik so you can chat with them. I wouldn't associate that with older, rural people. More female, sure... but then you've also got their male followers.
