    To be fair, many Youtuber and Tiktokers that are watched alternatively by younger people aren’t intellectual powerhouses presenting super complex content. Not that it’s not there, I have a couple of more informative-ish chanels I like to watch, but there is nothing intellectual challenging watching a video about the speedrun history of kings quest IV.

      Lol, nobody suggested that the vapid and shallow content on YT or TikTok had any particular value to it. The point is that procedural dramas have an underlying format popular with an age group that might have an affinity for such a format because it aligns with personal narratives they prefer.

      Unless of course you are suggesting that the generation viewing TikTok and YT are as vapid and shallow as the content they prefer?

        After reading the comment again: yeah, you are right, I missed the point.

        No, not what I was suggesting at all.
