One of the worst digital phenomenons is “content”. It poisons the web and our brains. Content makes our life so much harder, as we have to wade through all this stuff to find what we’re looking for; stuff that’s made by machines for machines to make money.
Make art. Make tools. But please stop creating content. Ughhh
@christowski While it can have different meanings, to me every personal website, article or blog post, video, or image is content, and while not everything is worth consuming there is loads of great content accessible.
Your personal website is content to me, and I just had a lovely time browsing through it. I wouldn't want you to stop maintaining or evolving it.
If you say, people should stop create content, I believe it needs the context you just provided me with. Content ≠ per se, imho.
@philipp I see what you mean (and thank you!). :) Content is not a new word; the ubiquitousness of the “content creator” just shifted its meaning—at least for me. I think it’s good to be precise with whatever you do; writing, making art, teaching, tools, etc etc. It also gives it more meaning and depth.
