"creator" is a strange term. in one sense I like it because it points to the web as our universal distribution platform and maybe even that fedi could be the universal attention allocation system.
what I don't like is that it probably makes most people think of those online personalities who work their asses off to make the corporate platform algos love them in order to better push people to buy stuff using ephemeral "content" than create great works of art or journalism.
The late #OmMalik :
“ #Socialmedia gave us tools to edit our lives into a highlight reel. Photos of coffee, food, selfies from places you couldn’t afford last year, some pithy comment. It was all one directional. A movie about me, by me, for me to broadcast and you to watch. This is what led to the rise of #influencerculture, where anything and everything was for sale. The self first became a gallery, then a reel. It was all passive, beautiful, controlled and #fake.”

"#Kennedy’s rise is one symptom of a cultural realignment that has merged hippie-coded New Age #WellnessFads with right-wing conspiracy thinking. Whether we call it the 'crunchy-to-#AltRight-pipeline' or, as I have, 'lifestyle fascism,' the politicization of consumer health choices has had dangerous knock-on effects, from lowering rates of vaccination to decreasing public trust in medical expertise."
