> Because basically nobody doing anything interesting is “creating content”. I think this is dead-wrong. If there are people watching this content, then it IS interesting to them. Most people out there who create content - replace this word with any other you prefer - want to monetize it, so they can make a living out of it. There is no difference between old and new media in this sense, even though the author implies there was some golden age in the past where this was not the case. Having the possibility of more people making a living out of it through technology has actually enabled us to enjoy more content we care about, not less, although certainly there is a lot of noise out there (scam artists, etc.).
