As Ayn Rand would say it, there are always creators and there are hoards of second handers (in this case, the content generators) who just want to replicate the success of the creator for making money and for quick popularity. Being a original creator needs lot of drive and motivation. Ideally if this is money plus popularity then it becomes virtuous cycle. Unfortunately in real life, many second handers who are smart with networking and placement tend to do better in the monetary aspect. This is true for all professions. So, take it up the chin and move on...great work guys...love reading your blogs

Why does "content creator" remind me of such vacuous terms such as "world changer," "social influencer," and "thought leader"? It's content that is essentially empty of, well, content. As is stated here, it's more about marketing than anything else. Why not simply use "advertiser" or "promoter"?

Fun times ahead in internet world. If content can be auto generated now (https://headlime.com/features/blog-writer, and the like) then what will the web look like in ten years? A polluted sludge of robots talking to each other?

Thanks for being a reliably entertaining human writer (although I've seen no proof that you actually are human).
