> People who are Youtube creators People who upload videos to youtube. That is what they do. And no, they don't need it. They could say "video". Easily. Also, I did put "everyone" in quotes for reason. Slice it how you want, a lot more people than those actually managing a "container" something else could be "content" in use that word. That was a shift that happened. And it's one thing when HR thinks of humans as resources, quite another when humans start referring to themselves that way.

> That was a shift that happened. You could say this about anything. When did loads of people start saying "shift" instead of "change"? Or "space" instead of "garden" or "room" or "atrium"? Saying something changed doesn't give it much significance.

  It contradicts the claim that "content" is what people say because that's what they have to say, to understand what they're posting or reading/viewing. It's no more significant than is warranted by what we're talking about here. It's fine. > When did loads of people start saying "shift" instead of "change"? I'd say "shift" is a subset of "change" and slightly more specific (every shift is a change, not every change is a shift). People didn't change how they speak, some adopted the language of website operators, and then even more people started to parrot that unthinkingly.

There was a criticism of Wordpress being a CMS, and I was referring to that. > People didn't change how they speak, some adopted the language of website operators, and then even more people started to parrot that unthinkingly. I don't understand how people didn't change how they spoke if they adopted some language. What's the difference?
