i am not genuinely mad at people for doing it, but god, it is so eviscerating to have someone say "oh man i love your content"
it's like walking up to a cow and going "dude i just want you to know? the burgers i'm gonna make out of you are going to be so delicious. my mouth is watering already. i cannot wait to exploit you. i see you purely as a resource"
i will never stop reiterating this: "content" was a word created by people who think like this
what is the purpose of the text on a website? to increase visitor count! to "convert" "leads"! to generate organic traffic! imagine being so brainwormed that you think the purpose of baking cookies is to make people interested in the cookie jar. "content" is a word created by the people who invented SEO and ruined google.
"content" is a block on a wireframe (derogatory) that's tucked in between "navigation", "banner ad", and "targeted ad," and just to the left of "column ad (animated)." applying that term to someone's creative output is unspeakably demeaning. applying it to your own is horrifying.
but yeah same difference, and good point
