The New Old Influencers

Grandparents are becoming powerful social media influencers?

Surely this can’t be true.

However, according to an article I discovered on axios.com, they are!

Older video creators are „racking up millions of followers“.

Are you surprised?

I was.

I was even more surprised, perhaps a little shocked, to watch some of the video clips to which the articles link.

However, when I read 85-year-old TikToker Gaylynn Baker’s words, I thought, „Why not?„

Gaylynn commented, „I’ve never had such a good time. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be on this planet, but I hope I’ll always be having this much fun.“

Well, if TikTok can change people’s ideas about ageing, it can’t be bad, can it?

What do you think?
