Social Media Means

YouTube remains the social media platform Gen Z is most likely to say they use, but it's only just above TikTok now: 74% of Gen Z say they use YouTube, and 70% say they use TikTok. And, given that most of Gen Z are too young for TikTok (being that this gen is 3-21-years-old), it's a huge feat that it's so popular.

Read More »Gen Z and Millennials are social media generations, and with each new platform that emerges, the apps they use are competing for their attention. And while it used to be battles between Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter, the platform everyone is looking to measure up to now is TikTok. In the few years it’s been around, and the fewer since it really took off, TikTok has become all young people can talk about; it’s where they start trends, find their next purchase, follow their favorite creators, and well, do everything else. So, for other platforms and brands alike, everyone is wondering how other social media measure up now—our newest trend report has the answer. YPulse’s The TikTok Effect trend report asks 13-39-year-olds all about their social media usage: which platforms they’re on, how often, and what they’re looking for when they use them. They tell us that every platform has a purpose, and that apps shouldn’t always try to imitate the others. But with their obsession with TikTok, every other platform is dying to get the attention young consumers give to short form video there. But how exactly does TikTok measure up to other platforms, and are brands right to be investing their time in the newer platform? In our trend research, YPulse asked 13-39-year-olds what their favorite social media platform is, as an open-ended question, and their top responses show exactly which they’re loving most:

And when we ask which platform they’d most like to spend an hour scrolling through or watching, TikTok is the clear winner for Gen Z, above YouTube, and far above streaming services. TikTok is undeniably dominating their lives on social media and doesn’t show signs of stopping anytime soon. While Gen Z is quick to move to new platforms, and put them above all else, Millennials still say Facebook is their favorite social media platform. It’s been their lives since they were teens, and 73% of Millennials say they use Facebook now compared to 37% of Gen Z. It remains their favorite for a myriad of reasons, but they say they go to Facebook to see content from their family and friends, more than they’re looking for memes / viral content or from people they don’t know (which TikTok is prominently). Facebook is truly a social platform for them, even if it’s a source of entertainment as well; though it’s not exactly a top short-form hub, 36% of Millennials say they’re watching video content on Facebook. Facebook is also a huge tool for social shopping, which we know young people are highly interested in. It’s the place Millennials are most likely to say they last saw an ad that made them want to purchase something, and 31% tell YPulse they use Facebook Marketplace (making it their most popular answer for which social media features they use out of over 30 options). But they aren’t addicted to Facebook in the way Gen Z is to TikTok; Millennials are most likely to say they spend an hour or less on the platform on a typical day, compared to Gen Z’s hours and hours on TikTok. TikTok is beating every other social platform, that much is clear now, but it’s having a major impact on the ones who have become used to being on top. Instagram and YouTube, namely, have been trying to emulate the hold short form content has on both Gen Z and Millennials since the rise of TikTok, but it’s just not what young people want them to be doing. Despite their efforts with Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, young people just can’t be swayed from TikTok. Still, that doesn’t mean these other platforms don’t have their role (and after all, do still make their top five favorite platforms).

And, given that most of Gen Z are too young for TikTok (being that this gen is 3-21-years-old), it’s a huge feat that it’s so popular. But when it comes to their favorite, YouTube now falls below both TikTok and Instagram. Instagram isn’t playing the role that TikTok is either though, even as they push their short form content. Still, 60% of young people use Instagram, and Gen Z specifically are most likely to say they spend an hour a day on the platform on a typical day—not quite the 5 hours they’re willing to spend on TikTok, but still substantial. Our trend data digs even further into their relationship with Instagram in comparison to TikTok. But one important thing to know is that 65% of Gen Z and Millennials agree, “I don’t like when social media platforms create new features that replicate other social media platforms.” So, while every social media platform tries to capture TikTok’s short form appeal, young consumers would rather they do what they originally intended to, rather than try to be copycat TikTok. After all, young people use an average of 6.26 social media platforms total, so their love for TikTok is not making them drop other apps, only split their attention by which kind of content they want.
