Everyone should be encouraged to pursue higher education. But that comparison is wrong. My account doesn’t get banned by a bot and I can’t get in touch with a human behind the platform working as a waiter or trying to become an NFL player.. social media is not normal. It’s Zuck and others creation along with their paid team of nerds who are having their way and harvesting data on their users. It’s unethical in every way and brings no good to society.

You don't get banned from working as a waiter but there's a great deal of capriciousness and randomness with gatekeeping humans and their mental heuristics whether directors at auditions, talent and casting agents, scouts, studios, publishers, etc. I don't really see social media as a particularly stringent or even especially random gatekeeper--and of course there's always the option of self-hosting and asking for donations or subscriptions.
