Does TikTok really remain that popular with the younger generation? I know content creators use it, but I'd expect most kids would prefer to keep content private. Is it really that popular for regular kids? Truthfully, whenever I open Instagram or TikTok it's almost entirely thirst-traps in my timeline. But maybe that's just how the algorithm has been trained for me.

Not sure about the younger generation, but TikTok is certainly dominating mine. Here are all the TikToks I’ve saved: https://imgur.com/a/YuxWObp https://imgur.com/a/YuxWObp The most interesting part is that “educational” outnumbers “lol” by about 5 to 4. I learn a lot on TikTok — more than Twitter. Of course, HN is still #1 for that (especially for depth) but production quality has been ramping up. TikTok recently emailed 10 minute videos, and it’s a matter of time till they do creator partnerships. The effect is pretty magical. I recently filmed TikTok converting my 70yo parents into users within 5min: https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1515056484668870659?s=21&t=4BaoHkRTvpNJtuYvHIXybg https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1515056484668870659?s=2... To get good algorithm recommendations, you have to use the “not interested” button. (Long press on a video.)
