  Well, we start by referring ta work not as “content”, but as what it actually is. Then work from there. For instance, one could ostensibly call Ahoy a filmmaker or a documentary maker.

    … Which is a type of content.

    There’s a lot of content that doesn’t fit neatly into a category though, because it was made by someone turning on a camera and making a video without worrying about any commercial concerns. So calling someone like that a creator is a catch all term for anyone making content for a platform.

      But don’t you think it’s a bit reductionist? We read books, not analogue text content. We eat meals, not nutritional content. We listen to songs, not rhythmic euphoria content. I don’t think it’s about commercial concerns - in fact, the term ‘content’ to refer to anything and everything is the ‘commercial’ way of putting it.

      Someone hitting ‘record’ on a microphone and jamming on a guitar is still music. Why should we treat video any differently?

        It’s a technical term, we may not use it in everyday conversation, but it is the correct term.

    Bruh that dude is a CONTENT CREATOR, not a filmmaker 😂🤣🤣

    His internet videos are colourful animations meant to serve ads while capturing attention and summarizing Wikipedia articles giving some thoughts on them, and I love them, but it’s called content for a reason.

      “Bruh” is not a strong opener to an argument

  Do we need a general term? Someone who uploads their videos to a video platform is probably a “video producer”.

    So what should we say when discussing people who make video, audio, text media?

    I see their point about “content”, where, on YouTube, for example, it devalues the videos as subordinate to YouTube as a platform, but I think as people use the word “content” it loses that connotation.

      video → video producer

      audio → musician, podcaster, … depending on the type of audio

      text media → author

        So what word should we use when describing all of those people in one group?
