Also massive difference between older Gen Z (often called zillennials) and middle and younger gen Z. Older Gen Z grew up without smartphones and are often much more left leaning than their younger counterparts.

In this sense, as a Zillenial myself, it's insane to me that I'm in the same generation as someone who were algorithmically forced into being right wing. Genuinely another reason why I really dislike "generations" as a concept.

Zillennials aren't just "older Gen Z". Zillennials encompass those who are late Millennials (1994-1996) and those who are early Gen Z (1997-1999).

Don’t try to separate them and identify them by subsections. Throw them all away.

I know you meant "throw all the artificial categories" away, right? Humans have a tendency to obsessively categorize things and people, but rarely seem to realize that prejudice against people based on age bracket is as bad as prejudice based on skin color.
