Social media work is the factory work of today. It largely requires no skill, one is easily replacable, and more and more tasks are automated away.
The difference is, I guess, that the jobs are also appealing. People that do this spend most their time on social media anyway, and now they can see themselves as tech workers.
But, in truth, the idea to make your passion into a job, is problematic if that passion does not require skill.
And so, a tech Proletariat creates itself and is replaced by actual child work.
