Review Q1 2025: 16–24s lead every week of Q1 — age gap holds steady as panel grows

The age-based viewing gap is not seasonal or volatile. Across all 13 weeks of Q1 2025, 16–24-year-olds maintain the highest median weekly watch count, consistently staying above 1,500 videos. Simultaneously, 35–44, 45–54, and 55+ cohorts cluster around 200–700 per week, maintaining their relative rank throughout the quarter. This structural consistency indicates the gap reflects fundamental behavioral differences, not temporary market conditions or measurement noise.

Median watch count per active user, computed for each age cohort within each ISO week of Q1 2025 (weeks starting Monday, Jan 6 – Mar 30). Weeks with fewer than 5 active users per cohort excluded. Panel size grew over Q1 as more users granted TikTok consent; within-week medians remain robust to panel growth because each week is analyzed as an independent cross-section.
