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
Like and subscribe and ring the bell because I am your pretend friend and you can pretend that I am talking directly to you while making saccharine perfomative reaction faces about whatever I'm looking at
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
I’m a discontent creator
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.
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.
Anything that is created devoid of the profit motive is 'art', everything else is product to be sold.
Packing peanuts? content. Scree? content. mixed fill? content. Polyester batting? content.
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.
