Why do famous youtubers rant about education?

As an active youtube user, I've noticed a huge decline in public interest involving living a professional life. Although i don't usually watch videos titled something similar to "college sucks" or "don't go to college", i checked some to see why everyone hates college because those videos trend everytime and influence tens of millions of people who are in college or about to go to college.

I was disgusted to see the content and the positive public response to it, everyone in the comments were like "yeah college sucks" or "the eduction system is corrupted and is ruining us" and more similar top comments.

There are 2 main things wrong with such posts and their reaction.

1: they are assuming education makes us suffer and depressed, does it really? I mean, being an intelligent species, we must use our intellect on something that we love. Setting a good goal in life is the most important thing you can do for yourself and the world, and it is only possible through college. Take me as an example, i made goal that i need to become a doctor one day, so im in college preparing for that, what's depressing and wrong in being educated and taught things that get us closer to our goal. This is assuming everyone has a goal in life, if someone doesn't, then he can leave education, but influencing many other people who do have a goal with negative reviews on their path is plain idiocracy.

2: the content in college is assumed "unhelpful" to get successful in life. Again, this is wrong and we must have base knowledge on every subject they teach us. knowledge and intellect are given to us and that's what makes us superior, but criticising the vary thing that makes you knowledgeable is stupid. So many people are getting negatively influenced by these useless criticism videos, they could impact people's lives and even cause some to drop out of college, who knows.

The simple thing is, education makes us knowledgeable. Imagine someone without a base knowledge say, math. Not knowing how the basic calculations work in life would be similar to living as an animal, just living and not aiming for anything. Sorry about all this rant but people really need to grow up and think deeper before making such content, eduction isn't here to get us a job, it's here to teach us about the world and live a professional life, not making life useless before we leave it. A person who doesn't care about education and say, games and earns money, what's the purpose to live for him then, he would have no contributions or have learned anything about the amazing world we live in, in my opinion, that's worse than living like an animal, no purpose or significance.
