I think these young people are being cynically manipulated. Who benefits if the youth eschew active living? Who gains if they exchange self-worth for the selfie-stick, and a life of preening vanity? Social media feeds on this disenchantment. Sure, if you resent exploitation and wabt to "go Galt" don't learn programming so that you can slave for soulless big-tech, go and learn programming so you can burn it to the ground. Or go and work for a charity, volunteer to start putting the world right at the most basic human level. Do anything but what feeds the vampire machine that grows strong from your disaffection.
