Early 20's here, and avoid TikTok, Instagram, etc and know Reddit and the like are all of those things listed - though the worst affected for me personally is attention span.

Hacker News might not be the best sample set :p I do all of these too but I really doubt many of my peers do.

I imagine you're quite correct.

I usually just like to chime in when people mention stuff like "no one young <does|knows|cares about> $THING", because I've noticed a trend where the fact that there are young people who care is ignored which I think hurts the case more.

Most of my peers don't care however, at least, not as much as I do though I've made some inroads.
