every time I hear the word "content" I die a bit inside

creator: yeah the thing I dedicate most of my waking hours to? the thing I love more than anything in the world? its just content! its simply media contained between ads, and nothing more! the entire universe revolves around ad revenue and this will never change! poggers!!
me: 
Death to America
I was hooking up with someone at a party and a friend walked past and said "that's content" and so I never spoke to either of them again
Death to America
I am right there with you. For the streamers I'd say at least have the courage to call yourself an entertainer. Content creator makes everything the same and it annoys me so much. A great TV show like the new AT: Content! Absolute swill like the Boba Fett show: Content! Those two things are not the fucking same and they're both TV, let alone also including movies or books into that mix. This guy who is funny and is really good at Guitar Hero: Content! V*ush: Content! Highly researched podcast about various US wars of aggression: Content! That NY Times show: Content! Shut up shut up shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up. Its so flattening and disheartening. If you actually think you're good at it, whatever it is you do, then you're better than that. Be a writer, be an entertainer, a musician, a streamer, a video producer or a podcaster or whatever. I can't imagine identifying as a "content creator," "I make slop" I fucking hope not.

content makes me content
I’m a discontent creator
The flattening of every kind of different thing to just "content" that you passively take in is soooooo fucking disheartening. We're witnessing the death of creative humanity, and the birth of the human machine

We all live under capitalism. For creators, it's easier to say "that's content" than "that will enable me to eat in the future".
If anything I appreciate the honesty.
at least they don't pretend it's art.
it's product.
I'm okay with people calling the slop content. New Star Wars TV show? Content. Netflix series about a C-List Marvel character? Content. Any sort of streamer? Content.
The feeling I get when I hear "content" is the same feeling I get whenever I notice youtube's ad breaks getting more egregious when watching it on a console without adblock, same feeling as when I was visiting someone in the hospital and a show they were watching was like 70% ads for the duration of its airtime, same feeling as when I see a pogface thumbnail, same feeling as when I get an article as an answer to my question and I have to dig through 4 paragraphs of nothing on the way to maybe finding an answer to my question, same feeling as when I hear anyone mention MrBeast, same feeling as being forced to use video players with less and less user controls, same feeling as...
man, I'm just so tired
the Great Enshittification proceeds apace
Death to America
It's just a generic word that keeps them from boxing themselves in. It includes: streaming a game, talking to your audience, reacting to funny videos, prewritten skits, karaoke, making music, interviewing someone, touring an area, etc.
It's pretty disgusting.
Now the word's lost all meaning on me.
Turning everything unto a product sucks. Soulless
All that is solid melts into air
Patrick Willems moment
At a festival where there is also political input the Content is a tent in which political content is brought to the masses by the masses. I liked that pun. However at a less vanilla festival the content was the place where you could have nice cuddles and just chill out with good vibes.
