How much of the glut of new compsci/sweng young people is the result of real market demands, vs social media personalities creating the appearance of a demand?

My observation is that, between 2019 and 2023, there were many creators shilling this, and probably quite good livings made off views and clicks. Could social media have amplified this, “fakely”?
