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.
