Man, I hate the word content.
I’m content with it
Product is a word I hate.
I mean unless you're a drug smuggler... Then that's fine. But using it for random lawn mower parts is dumb I think.
"I never thought that words like product would ever leave my lips."
Haha thank you for that.
Me too. Ever since I read Richard Stallman's words to avoid article. I kinda wish I hadn't read it now lmao.
I'll definitely read it start to end when I have the time later, for now this is my favourite part of the article (Of the parts I skimmed through):
Man, what a nice read
Yarr! Content!
Yeah, me too. What the fuck is content? Content means contained in something. Contained in what?
Also, "content creator" = OnlyFans
Contained in the app you use, video you watch, article you read, page of a book, sentence in a paragraph, etc.
It’s not the word, it’s the reductionism.
We used to call all those media except people naturally didn’t want to lump them all together.
