Just remember: you're a content creator now. Not a writer, artist, or photographer.

Everytime I hear the term content creator I cringe. Actually, I feel some brain cells die. I hate that term. You are NOT a writer anymore - you're a content creator. You don't make photos or art - you make content for the digital satanic mills called YouTube, Facebook, and others. You give them time and creative labour for free and they sell you out. That great thing you wrote? Content. That cool photo? Content. That awesome painting it took you months to make? Content. It’s all content - stripped of all meaning; a unit to be sold; a dull data point; part of the relentless stream of shit that keeps the mill moving and keeps the money flowing to billionaires. Ahhh...it's tiring. Here's a Spinal Zombie (ink and graphite): Email me about this post. Subscribe to my blog via RSS feed. Find me on Mastodon and Bluesky. Previous /
