I'm not so sure. Reddit skews young, yet the narrative there is that TikTok and the Chinese gov are just shy of evil. The iOS clipboard bug in particular has startled reddit into a wave of self-reinforcing "TikTok is spyware" stories and comments. A story like this one just reinforces that narrative, and I'm not sure there's any way TikTok is coming back from it.

I'd guesstimate the average redditor is somewhere in their late 20s to mid 30s. Compared to Congress, that's certainly young. But that's about twice the age of what I imagine the average tiktok user to be (teens.)

You may be right about reddit. The only decent source I can find is https://civicscience.com/nearly-4-in-10-americans-under-35-s... , but it agrees with your estimate.

Anecdote: every adult I knew that used Reddit, save two, has moved on. Most children under 12 I'm familiar with use Reddit.

The local TV news uses TikTok and mentions it regularly. Not exactly a teen-age audience.

> TikTok has a reputation for being popular with teens. And it is: 27% of its users are between 13-17 years old. But internal data from March 2019 shows that its largest age demographic (42%) is the young adult crowd.

It looks like the median user is 18-24... but that's still quite young compared to "tv news" watcher where the median age is around 60.
