It’s a platform catering towards techy middle aged men that can’t relate to her story at all. Of course, there’s always the bullshit about “of course I can’t relate to being a greedy billionaire” but it’s every single aspect, namely, never having been a teenage girl.
These guys will then go on to act like the teen girl story is a gimmick and that she should do something more mature, then scroll and geek out over painting some 40K figurines. Spoiler alert, we never stopped being kids, we just got wrinkly and gray.
I don’t get Swift. 300,000,000 women do. Clearly, she’s striking a chord somewhere significant.
I’m a 54-yo techie. There seems to be far more people my age and older than I ever saw on reddit. Part of the reason I say that is so many mention their age when appropriate in context. There was an Ask Lemmy thread the other day where you almost had to state your age and I felt on the mid-younger end. Weird.
Also, there’s so many joke and memes that I would think only Millennials or even back to GenX would get.
“As god as my witness, I thought turkey’s could fly.”
Loads of people will get that reference. And that aired in 1978!

the demo on lemmy to me mostly seems to be techie 20 somethings.

Oh, the humanity! People are running about. The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!
