With a lot of freed up labor, people seem to find other activities they deem "important" and focus on those.
Imagine we went back and time and described a social media job where people work endless hours, so that other people can sh*tpost online... They'd probably look at you and wonder how people are clothed and fed in our time with so many diddling away (even stressed out!) at such jobs.

Hopefully all those people who will be out of work don't think focusing on activates like "eating" or "getting healthcare" are important because they won't be able to afford them.
People tend to take whatever jobs they can get that will pay them enough to keep working and will fit their schedules, but with very little consideration paid to what they think is important or meaningful. I don't see that changing, especially as more and more people will be increasingly forced to compete for fewer and fewer available jobs.

It might sound strange to someone from the past, but companies hire people for "social media" jobs because doing that makes the company more money than not doing it. Businesses wanting more money should be relatable at least.
