Maybe Reddit is popular because it's text-based, and that's what millennials grew up with. And its helpful advice and slightly cringe humor hit just right for people in their 30s and 40s. Reddit is the social platform most saturated by millennials, according to an Emarketer report on US digital habits by generation. Of logged-in users on Reddit, 43.3% are millennials, compared to 29.6% who are Gen Z. Maybe Reddit is a safe space for millennials to be cringe and free.

So where are Gen Z's tech founders? Gen Z founders and would-be founders are stepping into a vastly different tech world from that of their predecessors — a world where launching a unicorn is far more difficult, and publicly scrutinized, than it was for the garage-band generation of Jobs and Gates. Gen Z is coming of age in an era when the same Big Tech companies are diffuse and dominant. In other words, millennial founders ran so that Gen Z founders could walk. Perhaps we won't see Gen Z founders standing before a crowd and unveiling their latest shiny products anytime soon.

"I often emphasize the idea that the market value of the object and the sentimental value don't always go hand in hand," he said.

☆ Boomers Are Selling Their Small Businesses; Millennials Are Buying

Sure, many small businesses aren't glamorous — think dental practices or accounting firms — and they involve long hours and unpredictable market forces. The US Small Business Administration said in July that there were nearly 35 million small businesses in the US. Fewer than two-thirds of small businesses in the US in 2022 were profitable, and over a million businesses of all sizes close each year. Traditionally, small businesses were family businesses, and the eldest male child was expected to take it over when the patriarch was ready to step down. Buying up small businesses allows people without wealthy boomer parents to cash in on the trillions of dollars of wealth the generation is sitting on.
