There are tons of people over 30, 40, 50 even over 90 on TikTok.
- Etheryte 2y agoThat's true, but proportionally they're a vast minority.
- echelon 2y agoThe algorithm segregates based on physical features, which can make sure they don't see one another with frequency. It's known to use facial recognition to boost videos of "beautiful people". https://www.dexerto.com/tiktok/tiktoks-algorithm-prioritizes-beautiful-people-according-to-leaked-documents-2953018/ https://www.dexerto.com/tiktok/tiktoks-algorithm-prioritizes...
- ok123456 2y agoNot true at all. I see people of all ages.
- hellojesus 2y agoIt is likely targetted at specific demographics.
- ok123456 2y ago12-year-olds probably aren't getting the same 10-minute videos of auto insurance adjusters taking exceptional calls that I am. But they might if they're precocious.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI'd be very surprised if anyone on TikTok is getting 10 minute videos on anything. I'd still be surprised, but less so, I'd auto insurance adjusters are taking the time to make short form content aimed at the 40+ audience.

- echelon 2y agoLawyers are getting in on it too. It's a major form of marketing for them now. - Law by Mike (10M subs): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/meJA30cglvo https://www.youtube.com/shorts/meJA30cglvo - Legal Eagle (3.5M subs): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lgT4iZ9BYF8 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lgT4iZ9BYF8 - Ugo Lord (1.9M subs): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I77J6n72Oto https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I77J6n72Oto - Attorney Tom (500k subs): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kgLTqx2UFUk https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kgLTqx2UFUk - Mike Rafi (300k subs): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/znQgK6God2w https://www.youtube.com/shorts/znQgK6God2w - CEO Lawyer (24k subs): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RzqBiKLZNy4 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RzqBiKLZNy4 Law by Mike puts some pretty incredible production value into their videos. Sharing YouTube links because TikTok web isn't great and the links will likely stop working in a few days.
- daeken 2y agoI watch at least 2-3 10 minute videos on TikTok daily, and a large number of 5+ minute videos! There's an amazing amount of good content, and once the algorithm hones in on what you care about it gets surfaced for you. Can't say I have insurance adjusters on my FYP, but I think that speaks to the power of the algorithm's targeting far more than it does the lack of content.
- diggan 2y agoAre those people also making posts like "I'd rather get shot by Mao than use Instagram Threads/Reels" right now?
- tokioyoyo 2y agoYeah… People just hate being told what they’re not allowed to do.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIt's a very American attitude to rebel against the tyranny of the government, after all. Something about taxation without representation?
- daeken 2y ago37 here and: yes.
- thiagoharry 2y agoSure. People older than 30 also dislike when the government tries to censor their access to some media.
- est 2y agoPG just wrote a blog, it shows the history of how students in the 1960s holding Mao's Red Book (pun intended) was the origin of the "woke" thing.
- krapp 2y agoPG is full of shit. "Woke" originated within the black activist community and culturally goes back as far as the 1930s. It got adopted and became mainstream within the white liberal progressive community through the popularity of black music artists and social media in the late 20th century. It has absolutely nothing to do with Mao's Red Book or communism.
