Forget not having the opportunity. How many just won't care to ever try? You can coast through a comp sci degree while trying to do TikTok and YouTube and esports and whatever else and still come out the other end without too much damage if it doesn't work out.

Why would you try? The upside of effort is, what? A slightly cushier 60 hour a week job for the same set of tin pot dictator bosses whose dream you are working toward instead of your own? There's no incentive.
