This made me smile. They say “content creator” but the content is pictures of their consumption of what other people create.

Peddling products they wouldn’t even use themselves. Shout out to the Zero-sum creators

This hit hard and expressed feelings I’ve long felt but couldn’t name. Lacking the words, I shelved the feeling. Now it’s clear how many of these “influencers” put the "con" in content creator. Thank you for putting it plainly!

Con artist, marketing - same same.

The world is run by marketing. People don’t even realise they’re being marketed to by the politicians, who find their pain points, promise they’ll fix them 😂😂😂

I love this. Many of us just need hobbies or are bidding for social connection. I don’t love that “content creation” has become the go to for the above

You meant well, but if it happened exactly as you wrote, all this little girl heard was that you see her as her race and you tried to crush her dreams.

I wonder what she’ll grow up believing now.

Love this post. I offer the word “confluencer” to creatives to suggest we merge streams of energy with others rather than focus on our own image. A daily tightrope walk!
