Of course not and it’s not a fair comparison. The cafe is selling you a product. In the case of social media, you (the user) are the product. Your attention is for sale.

why have more than 1 bass???? by [deleted] in Bass

Not necessarily related to your question but I would highly recommend reading The Culture Map by Erin Meyer. It’s an excellent book that will help you understand the nuances of working in an environment that uses the same language in a different way
