Gen Z history content creators have young audiences hooked. Popular history creators are breaking other young people’s doomscrolling loops (or maybe just changing them up) with viral videos about Victorian gossip and ancient sites. Kate Kennedy, a 26-year-old content creator and Oxford University master’s student, has more than 600K followers and 19M likes on TikTok, where she posts history lessons that feel more like gossip than textbook material. Jacklynn Botwe, a 29-year-old history content creator who films her visits to museums and historical sites, has more than 200K followers and 11M likes on TikTok. Museums are taking note and using the casual approach on their own social media accounts to attract younger visitors, too. (The Times)
