I’ll definitely read it start to end when I have the time later, for now this is my favourite part of the article (Of the parts I skimmed through):

Man, I hate the word content.
Yarr! Content!

Man, what a nice read
I’m content with it
Product is a word I hate.
I mean unless you’re a drug smuggler… Then that’s fine. But using it for random lawn mower parts is dumb I think.
“I never thought that words like product would ever leave my lips.”
Haha thank you for that.
Yeah, me too. What the fuck is content? Content means contained in something. Contained in what?
Also, “content creator” = OnlyFans
Contained in the app you use, video you watch, article you read, page of a book, sentence in a paragraph, etc.
It’s not the word, it’s the reductionism.
We used to call all those media except people naturally didn’t want to lump them all together.
