Yay, ageism!
TikTok users are pretty evenly spread from age 10 to 50.
Gen Z is the predominant demographic on the social network famous for lowering attention spans.
The link doesn’t break it down by generation (lumping Gen Z in with both Gen Alpha and Millennials), but it still doesn’t look like they are the predominant group. And if they are, it likely isn’t to a major degree.
I mean, I rotate between games, movies, and series. But then again I’m a millennial on the wrong side of 35, so get off my lawn, you goddamn hooligans
Call me a grumpy old man but I’m not sure this is significant beyond “young people play (video) games”. The report seems to show little difference in % of adults gaming between 2004 and 2024
They’re remaking Beetlejuice? WTF is Beetlejuice?
-GenZ
I spend $12 on a movie ticket. I watch for 2 hours. $6/hr entertainment, maybe a little less if I think about the movie after I leave, maybe a lot more if i also buy a popcorn.
I spend $30 on a game for sale on steam. I play it for 100 hours over the course of 4-5 weeks. $0.30/hr entertainment.
Just the value math alone checks out, regardless of the fact that the video game is a more interactive and interesting experience compared to the vomit that Hollywood spits out these days.
That’s assuming you only see movies in a theater or rent them. You can get plenty of hours of movie watching by subscribing to a single streaming service.
You know that there are free altwrnatives to streaming? I still enjoy (paid) games more than free movies/series.
