No, I don't mean the overuse of vocal pitch correction on modern(shit) music- Melodyne, Autotune etc-
I'm talking about talking- words-
NOT ONCE have I ever referred to what I create as "content" and why should I? That's silicon valley corporate speak- it disempowers the creator and homogenizes the creations-
It was created by corporations to help in the great monetization- MONETIZE ALL CONTENT-
"I would like to license 5 hours of content"
You mean these Beethoven symphonies?"
"Negative, just give me the audio content so that I can monetize!"
It's all content to them- yes, there are different "grades" of content- but once you go in that direction its not going to be good for anyone BUT corporations-
This new language was once reserved for the Steve Ballmer's of the world- the soulless corporate fucks who suck the life out of life for money- people who can't tell the difference between a Rachmaninoff piece and a song by some shitty popular DJ from 2019- its all "content" to them- sure, they would put them in different genre's(metadata) but to them, its all the same audio "content"
We're not all tech CEO's so why should we talk like them? Oh I forgot, they are part of our new ruling class- we must talk like the king!
Let's say I meet one of my favorites authors- I'm not going to say to him "I love your content" - I'm going to say "I love your BOOKS" why? Because I have respect and REVERENCE for the art and craft.
I'm not sure if they are indeed biological humans- but sometimes these things leave comments on my various works online with stuff like "I love your content" - If they are not actual bots I know they mean it as a complement but I don't take it as one- The statement means nothing to me.
It's the same as if a bot spat a string in the comment box- Why do people want to act like bots?
Also- I don't think "love" and "content" should ever be used in the same sentence.
"Deborah, I love you! Did you read the content I sent you in the mail?!" "No Johnny, I've been working hard on my own I.P. , I'll read your content tomorrow"
I know, I know- you hear and read all these flunkies who write articles or make videos shilling themselves out for whomever will monetize their time/text- Those innumerable, endless, replaceable "content" shills- and they throw "content" all over the place-
They are all mini corporate CEO's- wannabe tech kings-
They use words like "content" - "I.P."
"So M dot, how are you?"
"I'm fine, just working on my content, you know- I have to build up my library of I.P. so the monetization will allow me to retire and consume my favorite content all day- as well as allowing bandwidth for copulation and other enjoyable physical activities before my physical vehicle expires"
If you claim to admire a work a biological human created then at least show enough respect to call what they create what it is.
And don't talk like a Silicon Valley corporate fuck just because you see/hear all these other soulless replaceable monetization humans doing it unless you have given up your self sovereignty and pledge to forever be latched to the teat of tech.
If you're not on stage at some tech convention it just sounds ridiculous- and this is me addressing creative people that claim to have a soul.
If your a soulless human- please continue, it makes it easier to identify and avoid you.
Adblock is a great thing- I'd like a new tool to filter out the "content" + "I.P." organisms-
