It's that.

People make fun of me when tell them I like to talk to teens about technology. Why, they ask. Why? Because I learn about all these new upcoming platforms. I ask them "how do you get music now", "how do you share photos", "what do you use instead of Facebook".

And I learn about Snap, TikTok, Instagram, etc. long before they are popular.

These platforms all thrive on word of mouth. Teens still hang out mostly in person in school, so they have rapid word of mouth.

Talk to teens about technology. It will be enlightening.

Remember the creepy VPN stuff marketed at teens that Facebook was doing? They really wanted to see what platforms teens were connecting to and engaging with!

That's a great point. I will talk to teenagers about tech more.
