Gregory's Server@garritfra And please... stop using "content" to refer to films, music, writing, and other deep labors of love created by humans.
I don't think a lot of people realize that the term "content" debases the creative output of a great number of people.

@cirno @garritfra I feel like of the accurate descriptions, "art" probably has the most possibility for pretense... but "music", "film", "writing", "photography", etc., don't really feel pretentious to me at all. I just feel like "content" devalues the thing that it describes, and turns it all into a bland sea of sameness. |
@garritfra How about the term "podcast"? It comes from the iPod, which isn't nice.
The problem is that the neutral alternatives are often longer. "Google" is shorter than "search online", "youtuber" is shorter than "digital video content creator".
@fortifieduniverse What would you suggest as an alternative? Content feels appropriate to me, if a bit cold. Something like "art" can be a better descriptor, but damn does that sound pretentious.
