Indeed as dogshit 3 years ago when I graduated and tried to get a job. Like just barely worse than LinkedIn’s job apply feature.
These sites are true garbage.

I would quite disagree with the very few people over 30 years.
Regardless of opinion or usage, people know of the ‘tik tok’

It's just a massive dunning kruger effect machine. Sure it can look at and sort a massive data set but it doesn't actually understand any of it so will respond with rubbish with the same confidence as the truth.

Bowling for Soup has a song out called "Getting Old Sucks (but everybody's doing it)" Where they're pretty much the old guy-get-off-my-lawn guys. At one point they're listing off their health conditions and end the verse with "what the fuck is tiktok?". That pretty much sums it up. Very few people over the age of I would guess 35 even know what it actually is other than the news constantly telling them it's making all the kids crazy
Edit: holy shit this angered some folks. I'm 40. I don't know a single person that uses it, though their kids do. That's the extent. I was agreeing with the original comment here that this dude seems to be full of shit if he's going to claim it's mostly used by young professionals.

How about equipping drones with ground penetration radar and train one of those fancy machine learning AI to teach them how mines "look like"?

Those two things are not mutually exclusive. If the last decade has taught us anything it's that vast sections of the population will believe anything they are told if it suits them.

Serious question
What percentage are usa citizens, and or permanent residents actually living in the USA?
This ratio is important as it more directly impacts local economies

“Average” is often misleading and does not tell the whole story. You have 5 people, ages 19, 20, 21, 22 and 93. The average user is 35 ( Add all ages together and get 175 then divide by 5, which is the number of people in the group. This averages out to 35. ) That’s “well past college age,” as most of us would consider it.
However, we can clearly see that most of the users in our sample group are ages 19-22. The metric that makes more sense to use here is the “Mode” of the sample, which counts how many users belong to the largest group.
In our sample here, the Mode shows that 80% of users are still 19-22 years old, even though the inclusion of someone’s great-great grandmother raises the Average to 35.
People can manipulate numbers like they manipulate emotions; do your research, use multiple sources, trust your instincts, don’t accept someone else’s “truth” at face value.

Better to let American companies collect the data and then sell it to the Chinese.

It always sucks when you get laid off. But this is why you don't get committed to a job, especially a tech job, especially in the first few years.
