Am I allowed to jump in and say I find it hugely annoying? It's almost worse than people calling it "Social" instead of "Social Media".
It smacks of desperately wanting to be hip and cool.
- munchbunny 10y agoYou're misattributing motive. It's just industry jargon that evolved over time. It's used because it compresses a key industry concept. There's about as much motive to use the term "creative" to sound cool in advertising as there is to make "dongle" sound sexual in consumer electronics.
