Let's talk about the hottest platform people over 35 don't seem to use.Hank Green's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAZapFzpP64Sarah Z's video: https:...
One of my partners is 49 and uses it. Then again, I have many partners under 35 who don’t.
I understand why many people avoid the platform, but I’ve always been of the mindset that anything on the internet stays on the internet forever and that everyone is always trying to monetize you and I made my own peace with that a long time ago. I don’t really have a choice when it comes to affecting whether this happens at a large scale (and I don’t think anyone individually really does either, it’s up to governments to regulate this) so it’s never kept me off invasive platforms.
With that being said, I agree that tiktok is even more exploitative than other platforms in that people don’t really make money off it like big youtubers or streamers or podcast makers do. It’s a shame, because the parent company is raking in plenty of money.
