Even allowing for what you've written here, it's still such an awful label because the two words are so vacuous. What is "content"? What is a "creator"? They're meaningless when stuck together. My own creative pursuits have meaningful descriptors: photographer (I take photos), music producer (I produce music), writer (I enjoy writing) etc. and each of these has a meaningful output - a piece of music, a photograph, a book. If someone calls themself a "content creator" it suggests that the actual nature and output of the "content" is unimportant, it's secondary to just "I must create something in order to shove it in front of other people, I don't care what it is, I just have to shove it at you". I also hate influencers.
