To answer the "why", it's because the word "content" is kinda meaningless. Instead of making films, documentaries, talk shows, reference guides, cartoons... it's all just this generic "content" slop that's just there to feed the machine
What a strange opinion.
I mean, you don't call it whatever you like, but content is the technical definition of it.
I agree with this a lot. I really do not like the term "content". It is like going to a recipe for some "slop", like using a term that is just a catch all for everything tossed on a plate.
Art is great. Movies, music are also fine terms. And so is simply saying they made a video. Watering it all down to the term "content" is just so boring and mind numbing.
Not really. The term "content creator" is corporate speak. Google's ad-based business model has a binary classification: content and ads. It's not an inaccurate term, but using it implicitly endorses the corporation's binary world view.
Words is funny sometimes.
