  This makes me feel better actually. I always get the vibe that it’s all kids and teenagers. Maybe because they’ve made it too “soft” for lack of a better word that I can think of rn. I’ll stop back in another 19 years.

    Older people consume the content because that’s the dynamic that we are used to. Few produce it, we don’t have much we “need” to share or say, we are also busy earning. Young people are also busy earning, but it just so happens that their business is the platform, and they “need” to share - not that anyone is asking them to except for the advertising machine that feeds off the engagement, click and rage bait.

    I don’t even think under 18s can post, so what’s your metric you’re even using here?

      Vibes only. High margin of error when it comes to actual numbers but it still feels that way to me.

        You forget that most adults are mentally children, only with more money and less time. My homelab is just a more expensive lego set.

  I’m sure the number of actual small children that use YouTube is quite high as well, but data would be skewed since they aren’t supposed to be on there. The views of channels that cater to them are on another level.

  Is that the age users entered? Before I was legally an adult I always just added a few years

    It was from a marketing data aggregator, so it’s presumably getting it from more than self-reported age, knowing how those scum sucking data vampires are.
