DU does demographic polls often enough, and the results are consistent over time. There’s not a lot of people under 50 here. It comes in at under 10%. And of those, the majority are in their 40s. Gen Z is even less. I think we have three or four total. And they’ve got one foot out the door because of all the youth bashing that goes on.

It’s an older space. Nothing wrong with that really. But if one’s intention is to address the youngins, this space doesn’t have much reach.

Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, etc. If one wants to recruit and encourage, those are the spaces.
