A transcript of the secret in case anyone is curious what it had said:

"I find myself less interested in shipping teenagers and 20-somethings, the older I get.
I assumed it would be the same for writers, but I'm finding it significantly harder to find fic containing older characters. Have older writers just stopped writing, or are they writing about current teenagers?
It's rather depressing, realizing that you're starting to get too old for your 20+ year hobby."

Ah, yeah, I get that.

Most of the fandoms I get into are more adult-focused, and have been for a while-- and I hate when I find a fandom about adults I can relate to and all the fic is high school AUs!

Even in Stranger Things, like... I'm not at ALL interested in the shipping stuff with the younger kids, only really have one ship among the older teens (/20 year olds? or is Steve still 19? Do we even know?), but like... I LIVE for fanworks about Murray where he's not just playing matchmaker for the kids, and I want more fanART of him, and I'm so mad that he doesn't get a funko pop. Pretty sure there's more than one Hopper, there's even a Barb.
