I like how everybody unironically answers this and nobody gets mad at using a soulless corporate non-word like content creator in the context of political agitation and by like i mean death to AmeriKKKa
I came here to shame everyone and say the only "content" I want a leftist to create is
Or if I had to pick one
Do you have a better word?
Depends on who we're talki g about, but in a lot of cases things like artist, streamer, essayist, journalist or podcaster fit better.
Artist.
You are about to kick off an even more annoying debate about what is art and what isn't.
AI has solved "what is art" debates. Just point at the best image out of an image generator and the worst crafted anime picture by a 13 year old from deviantart. Art is the thing that's better about the latter.
Walter Benjamin did it 100 years ago. I love that the kids are taking about Aura in the slop age. But the real question is, "Is podcasting art?".
Don’t Call it Content | Mo Perry
Yeah but this is intentionally a very general question post, inclusive to all sorts of media, so using a term for a wide category makes sense.
Calling an individual a content creator is usually weird of course.
Reply is to the text you removed, haven't consumed the linked content (jk) yet.
sorry, I figured why keep my rambling in there. but yeah I'm not sure what general term would work better
