The kids today are light years ahead of where Millennials were 15 years ago. At that time politics consisted of your stance on the Iraq war and Bible thumping. Having a political opinion at all was still considered somewhat hip, but vast swathes of the social landscape were ignored. Today there are a much wider array of social issues being discussed by Zoomers that weren't even paid attention to by us Millennials. In my view Zoomers have really benefited from the more mature social media landscape. A lot of the rough bumps have been smoothed out.
There are cons though, too. The big tech conglomerates have a lot more power over what goes "viral" and the narrative is much more controlled.
