    Why does teen Vogue appear to have considerably higher quality articles than my local newspaper?

      I don’t actually like Teen Vogue very much lol, but they talk about things that sometimes go underreported so I find some value in that.

        If this is what the kids are reading these days, they’re going to be a hell of a lot smarter in their 20s than my dumb ass was. Good on them.

          It’s hard to tell. I get the impression that a lot of Teen Vogue readers are actually basically right wing haters, as a conservative that’s how I learned about them. But “thought leaders” like influential left wingers on social media and YouTube probably read them too and disseminate their takes.

            Yeah I can’t imagine conservatives are popular among most young people these days. Hard to be taken seriously when the current Republican leader is a convicted rapist.

              Some conservatives are pretty conservatives but when it comes to commentators that aren’t that young, they definitely aren’t tapped into what young people are actually paying attention to.
