Or, are you in the camp that thinks this time isn't any different from past advancements in technology

I'm in that camp and still very concerned. Not that I think UBI would be an actual solution these issues.

that somehow everyone is going to be some kind of social media manager?

Unnecessary strawman.

I'm also very interested in the possibilty of establishing a form of basic income that isn't based on taxation. If theft can be avoided, then there might be ways to ensure a certain level of income to pay for essential living expenses without distorting markets by state force.

It's never gonna be as easy as these people think though. They're UBI is little more than outright legalized theft.
