## Summary

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.

## Chart

Line or area chart with five trend lines, one per age cohort, tracking median weekly videos from week starting Jan 6 through week ending Mar 30. 16–24 line (darkest or brightest color) remains highest and relatively flat at 1,500–2,500. 25–34 sits below at 750–1,200. 35–44, 45–54, 55+ cluster tightly in the 200–700 band, with minimal week-to-week movement. All lines are stable with no inversion.

The stability of this ranking across 13 weeks confirms that TikTok's age gradient in Germany is a structural feature of user behavior, not driven by seasonal events or temporary engagement surges. Even as panel sample composition shifted (early January had sparse consent; February onward more complete), the relative ordering and magnitude of the gap persisted, indicating the finding is robust.

## Methodology

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.
