  • 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.


  • I find this arguing over labels more and more as I browse online, and it is sooo exhausting. I have noticed so many instances of arguing and discourse where both sides have similar ideals and want the same things, but argue with each other over stereotypes of labels on the other side, and point to the faults of the vocal rabid minority on the other side as if to prove a point. Sigh.


  • Lovely pictures.

    I looove morning glories. We had an entire wall full of morning glories in our school when I was a kid. One day the teachers asked the older students to pluck some of them for decorating something.

    The older kids went right up, plucked the flowers, and dropped them down so the others could catch them in their bowls. The sight of morning glories gently floating down, swaying in the slight breeze, the deep purple of them even more noticeable in the gentle morning light, the kids laughing as they did their best to catch them - that became a core memory. That was the first time I appreciated beauty - of life, nature, everything. I’ve forgotten a lot of stuff in my childhood, but this will likely stick with me for a long time


  • Genuinely don’t understand how reddit has failed to make money.

    Reddit’s entire value is based upon the unpaid contributions of its users- they generate and moderate all the content on the site for free, and these are the things that bring people to the site.

    How entitled must one be to think they can ignore all this and be fine?

    Also how tf is reddit not able to break bank?

    The functionality of their website was relatively simple - not underming the reddit devs here. The costs must’ve been minimal before the redesign and the dumb ass decision to host their own images and videos. Did they burn up all their money for the redesign and the shitty app?
