I think most of us assume everyone is the same age as we are (beyond those who obviously act like children). Back in the early days (ugh) of IRC and MSN and the like most people were teenagers and it just feels to me like everyone has grown up with me.
I have found over the years that most of the people I end up interacting with in guild/clans etc are between 25 and 40 so certainly the average age online is increasing. Which makes sense if you think about it, those of us who grew up with the internet haven't just gone away as we've got older. In the past our parents and grandparents weren't deeply into the internet becasue it wasn't a thing they felt that attached to - so the sterotpye that old people don't engage with it much only really applies to them.
We grew up with this shit and made it what it is, it grows old and burns with us!
Also I don't get what zoomers are into anyway, probably some post-internet shit like filming themselves licking hobos in 5 second clips with garbage music over it.
