Its probably just the algorithm but in my experience people over 30 love TikTok. COVID killed the idea that TikTok was only a young person's app.

Of the content creators I watch the women seems to talk a lot about Tiktok memes but none of the men has even mentioned anything from Tiktok. So I think 30+ male nerds basically don't use Tiktok, but women do.

    You don't get a good picture of how many in a group uses tiktok by looking at tiktok but looking at them in other places and seeing how many of them there uses tiktok. You can find nerds at instagram as well but that doesn't mean nerds in general are into instagram.

      Maybe however you must remember there are magnitudes more people consuming content (lurkers) then are creating content on social media sites like TikTok, Reddit, etc. For example someone like cryptoknight [1] has over 38,000 followers and a million likes, majority of which are probably not women under the age of 25 and aren't nerdy.

        38k followers is a really small creator. That doesn't really convince me there are lots of Nerds at tiktok, there are tons of nerdy channels at youtube with millions of subscribers.

        Looked up some, yeah some of them also uploads to tiktok apparently but get more than 10x more views on youtube than tiktok. Shadiversity for example produces content that you would think fits tiktok, but he gets an order of magnitude more views and subscribers on youtube than tiktok. Same goes for the other channels I checked. It makes sense for them to upload on tiktok as well since it is cheap to hire an editor for it, but I don't see them focusing on tiktok since the market for tiktok nerd videos seems to be much smaller. If you look at channels that are a bit smaller, like half a million subscribers, they don't seem to even bother with tiktok, don't think it is worth it then to even have an editor fix it for that format. So to me this looks a lot like "nerds aren't on tiktok", sure some big channels also uploads there but it doesn't look like they consume tiktok content.
