I’m on the other side of your opinion - I like that phrase. “Content” can mean art, audio/visual media, writings, etc. - basically anything that we consume.
IMO, Professional creative like artists/writers/performers are all content creators but not not all content creators are professional creatives.
In this day and age, everyone creates music, comedy, videos, skits. Some work a job primarily but create media or rabbitholes that can be scoured through.
I think “content creator” is a nice catch-all term for personalities that do a lot of stuff that can be casually consumed for entertainment or discourse, especially because it stops limiting said people to one occupation like “musician” or “author”, while also preserving the seriousness of those occupations.
IMO, Professional creative like artists/writers/performers are all content creators but not not all content creators are professional creatives.
And yet this thread has youtubers, podcasters, streamers. Are those vastly more popular than musicians and authors, or does almost everyone use “content creator” differently? I have yet to hear anyone say “Taylor Swift is my favorite content creator”.
I hate “content creator”, is a band playing music a content creator? Is an author writing books? Is it just stuff that’s online-only? Anyway.
