It’s a bit of a judgement call to assume what they are reading. I’ve also seen weird studies on wether “kids these days” read “classics” or not, and people using the results to look down on those who found more interesting stuff for themselves.

or you can also safely assume that kids left to their own devices will find a pretty low bar common denominator like wasting time on tik tok.

Every new generation is said to be wasting their time on frivolous things on their own device.

We’ve also reached a point where there’s legitimately better “educational” content on youtube than on any other media. I don’t have any idea on what’s actually on Tik Tok, but I wouldn’t look down on it just because it looks shallow from where we’re looking from.
