> As a content publisher

It always bothers me a little when people describe themselves as a content publisher or content creator. Why content? Why not say you are a short film maker or writer or musician or videographer or journalist or painter or photographer or ...?

In the past, your work has been merely content to the people who are looking for bits -- any bits -- to place between and around the stuff they really care about: ads. These days I suppose your work may be seen by some as grist for the AI mill.

By calling your work content you are acceding to the idea that your work is only valuable in other contexts. It isn't! I bet it's something you made with care and thought.

Or maybe I misread and you really are a content publisher. You're the person running the CMS who is looking for other people's work to monetize. If so, nevermind.

As a philosopher, I'd guess it's frequently because more concrete terms like "blogger" or "forum commenter" or "video game player" somehow lend even less credibility than the generic terminology.
