- mayankkaizen 8y agoI am 37 and judging by the comments here, I feel like average user age is above around 40.
- 0xferruccio 8y agoI’m 21 but don’t comment a lot as it’s a bit intimidating. As far as I perceive top commenters are older than me as they usually have a lot of experience in the topic they’re discussing. I bet many people my age feel the same
- EliRivers 8y agoI could believe it. It was definitely a product of its time, riding a wave of people that simply don't exist in the same amounts anymore. Outside the bubble, a lot of society has moved on to other obsessions and talking points.
