I don't even know if it's so much interest wanes generally as that when I was 17-to-20 reading about other 17-to-20-year-olds getting together (or for that matter fighting evil) did not mostly make me think "oh no they're tiny children" like it does now! My response to 5000-year-old middle-aged-looking dudes has mostly stayed the same.

But a lot of 17-year-olds also seem to be having the "oh no tiny children" reaction to other 17-year-olds these days, which is definitely different.

The increase in & tags is definitely noticeable and also great, thought, that was so sadly underused for so long.
