All labeled with tick and value. The visual emphasis on the 16–24 cohort's wide spread underscores not just heavier consumption, but greater heterogeneity. This reflects the diversity within Gen Z — some users treat TikTok as a background app, while others have integrated it as a primary form of entertainment and social connection. Older cohorts show tighter clustering, suggesting more uniform, moderate engagement patterns.Box plot or range chart with interquartile bars (light blue or gray), cohort median marked as a dark tick. 16–24 cohort IQR: 751–3,398. 25–34 IQR: 336–1,784. 35–44 IQR: 78–1,172. 45–54 IQR: 96–950. 55+ IQR: 235–1,179.

Analysis

While median watch counts reveal age-based differences in typical behavior, the spread within Gen Z reveals stark inequality in viewing intensity. The middle 50% of 16–24-year-olds spans from 751 to 3,398 weekly videos—a 4.5× range. By contrast, 35–44-year-olds occupy a compressed band of 78–1,172, and 55+ range from 235–1,179. This dispersion indicates that TikTok consumption among Gen Z is highly polarized: some are occasional viewers, while others consume the platform obsessively.

Methodology

Each user (with ≥2 active weeks in Q1) assigned a per-user median weekly watch count. Cohort distribution summarized as 25th percentile (Q1), median (50th), and 75th percentile (Q3). Sample after the ≥2-week filter: 570 users (16–24 n=144, 25–34 n=169, 35–44 n=155, 45–54 n=63, 55+ n=39).
