This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator"
You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor...
You are not a faceless "content" machine.

Is all
I am not a "content creator", I am just a guy.
You could be anything instead of being called a content creator
There's a lot of faceless machines out there TBH.
content is what capitalists dismissively call your your unique work when they are just cashing it in as surplus labor
Make 2025 the year you seize the means of both production and distribution of your work and let’s cut these parasites out.
but also a continent destroyer, i am going to remove the united kingdom (this will be a net positive for the world)

i think some people should say
sometimes "content creator", some less...
If you make a living making youtube videos while being a artist/vending machine /roof cleaner.
You are both the former and the latter.
CONTEXT matters <3
It IS art and you are allowing it to be devalued as not being art when you call it content.
Others not understanding is a them problem, not a you problem.
We have an obligation to pigeonhole that with the most derogatory term we can find.
You know, I was kidding.
Thank you for posting this.
I'm not a content creator.
Remember to be kind and look out for eachother. If you can, support any fundraisers by donating or spreading the word as well. Take care!
I do stuff folks enjoy but it's not "content" makes me feel like we're all just selling ourselves

Always called myself an editor or a video maker
I do 8 of the things on your list & am super proud of my porn (not a shame thing) but I can't just tell every single person I meet that it's how I make a living, so the phrase works for me.
Also, people cannot declare themselves influencers. They are spokespeople, advertisers, salespeople, reviewers, whatever, but influence or lack of it is judged by others afterwards.
Summer holidays (a privilege, yes, but also work)
I may have destroyed quite a bit. 😜
That is a particular process of four parts: Strategy, concept, execution, production.
The people who do it carry creative as a job description, like plumber.
I have built, made, drawn, shot, thought, designed, manipulated, written, edited, messed with, effed with, had a thought about, painted, ‘thrown up all over the keyboard,’ ‘excreted onto the screen,’
You don’t have to have a physics degree to know that the only creating that happens in this universe is in the furnaces of the stars.
The rest of us are here to beg, borrow and steal.
Another one was suppressing dissent like dislikes and comments that were otherwise valid.
This shit all started when people readily accepted the term “brand” when applied to people and their personalities/talents. Capitalism ruins everything. I fucking hate all that corporate language bullshit being applied to human fucking beings. Ugh.
One of my favourite YouTube guys have made a few statements on this too. "content creator" just sounds so... Lesser than
Hell, I've taken to using Pirate Software's version with games too
"this game has so much -game-"
In 2024, I read a comment on a video announcing a hiatus in production along the lines of "It's a shame you have to downsize your content".
It felt so empty and soul-less. Like a replaceable module in a machine.
I resolved to avoid the umbrella term "content creators" after that.
First we were conditioned to be "consumers" instead of customers or patients or members or aficionados or collectors.
Now this.
Language doesn't have to be bigoted or violent to be dehumanizing.
Stream is the medium, not the craft.
"Creator" sounds fine
"Content Creator" just sounds like some automated garbage
Now that was worth my while!
Yes I’m a man.
Creator would work, but it leaves a lot to the open tbh. What am i creating but content, yknow?
maybe i just have a much healthier relationship with the term "content creator" than most. Its kind of an empty phrase
Yes indeed. We do believe in these, and all the others that protect all the citizens of our beloved country.
We The People.
