>"I consume" I prefer to watch (talking about video)> I mean those marketing vultures can call me whatever the fuck they want but I do not give a shit. I do not consume, I watch, read, eat, drink and so on.

Also the video still exists after watching it so it has not been consumed.

  Though its corresponding anti-video in your mind is consumed when you watch it. As in, you can't watch it twice "for the first time", and the first time is always special.

"Consume" is a generic economic term that encompasses any use of a good or service.

  I know that. And I understand when marketers use it in their business internally. When the person says I consume in relation to say watching a move as in this case, reading a book etc. it is different in my opinion.

    Perhaps such a person has been consuming too much marketing speak.

I also feel a little sad whenever I hear somebody describe themselves as a content creator. They are giving in to the idea that their work exists just to sandwich ads around in somebody else’s CMS.

  Actually I think if you put your comment and the parent comment together, you can see why they use that term. Because the alternative to the phrase “content creator”, for a single online person, might be: I am a YouTube video creator; an X tweet, photograph and video creator; an Instagram post, photo and video creator; also an ebook writer… obviously this gets unwieldy fast. “Content creator” conveniently covers it all. What I think using “read/write/record” misses, is that the format is not materially important.

I run a 1980s TV station in my house so I need large amounts of video. I have close to 9,000 individual 80s commercials that get reinserted back into 80s television shows. I don't think I've yet to see all 9,000 commercials but I have consumed them into my system.

I've released the project on GitHub but by doing so I am not implying it's good or worthy of others use. Maybe it will inspire smarter people to make something better. But it works perfectly for me and my situation.
