> Creator is anyone who makes money by producing content. It's irrelevant whether you consider that content "worthy". Thanks for clarifying, this makes sense to me. Previously, I considered creators as someone making original content(could be informative, documentary, educational, news, art, music etc.), but I see that the term is now considered a much broader scope. May be am just stuck in stone-age.

The proliferation of corporate/business language is a hint - no one actually wants to "create content". They want to create art, music, writing etc. Advertising however usually needs something to ship it with, to draw attention, and so we have broad, hollow terms like "content" and "creator".

  >no one actually wants to "create content" Plenty of entertainers want to create "content" instead of what you label "art".

    I think you'll find they want to entertain. "Content" is just the catch-all detached term for anything that can be consumed.

      So what though?

  To me, a creator is someone who creates something. Anything. Everybody who is not merely consuming is a creator.
