Like the sibling comment, I'm in my early 20s. So pretty close to the target audience age. My friend tried hard to get me to create an account on TikTok because he was super into it, and making videos, and wanted me to participate and do them with him. I heeded him, and gave it a shot. Overall, it felt like a chore to try and remember to open it up and scroll through tons of short clips.

I like to learn from long-form content that can go into detail on a topic. That's much more appealing. Then again, I'm on Hacker News, and I think the majority of the people here are the kind of people that prefer long-form content over short-form, otherwise we'd be scrolling through TikTok rather than reading articles and typing multi-paragraph comments.

What I was originally trying to say though is: I don't know that it's old age. I'm young and I don't find it enjoyable.
