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.
- julianeon 3y agoActually 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.
