This article reinforces something that has been irking me more and more. The word content. I think the thing that annoys me about it is that it erases the uniqueness of the... content. This is even reflected in it being an uncountable noun. And, as a believer in the Sapir Whorf hypothesis, I think this changes how we think about it. Sunsetting some content in favor of newer more engaging content sounds almost reasonable, until you realize it amounts to erasing unique and irreplaceable works, and along with it the historic record.
