I hate the term "content creator".

I always create content right after my morning coffee.

I may not know who the father of my food baby is, but I do know that I'm having a water birth tomorrow morning after my 1st cup of coffee.

My food baby died in childbirth and was buried at sea. Thank you for your condolences.

I've been beating the drum against people calling themselves "content creators" for years. It's so weirdly dehumanizing.
"Content" means nothing more than "stuff." The substance or ‘material’ (whether corporeal or incorporeal) of which a thing is formed or consists, or out of which a thing may be fashioned. (OED). "I make stuff for the internet."

We need a "content shredder" plug-in.

Luckily theres usually a few people who see it and go "wow this is the perfect thing, amazing" I just feel so bad when I see some amazing piece of art and I'm just not fundamentally moved in any way due to my own internet poisoning Them: "Everything I've done in life has lead to this." Me: "Neat"

And now it's even worse: that pile of content is put into a blender and the sludge is fed to a machine that creates more pictures

Just off to the right in the last panel you have the scrapers with a massive truck piling in as much as they can grab.

I hate social media for this. A portfolio should be a timeline of glimpses of one's artistic process. Sometimes looking back is great to see how far you've evolved and how you've changed. The empty "more content" shit is just consumerism forgetting what makes art important entirely 😔

The filter has definitely grown much tighter in the past 20 years. But that's only because so many people are being creative and producing unprecedented shit.

Granted, this is part of how Drawfee got so popular. They turned the cute art process into a thing that requires 30 minutes of your attention.

Freeing in a way, no pressure to do anything but obsessively find your own voice, unless you rely on it for income, then it's anything but.
