Back On To Content Again.

It’s LinkedIn oatmeal.
Chris is right, so I replied:
Content is homogenous, undifferentiated and fully interchangeable with any other content - like any other ‘grain’ that sits in a silo.
- Can you really tell one grain of wheat from another?
- Is your post/comment really interchangeable with every one else’s?
If so - content it is. If not - guess what - it is not content. So don’t call it content.
Content is a horrible, generic, cheap, ‘anything will do’ kind of word and so - like a grain of wheat - any individual piece of ‘content’ has no value. The value is in the total silo.
It is also important to know that it is in the best interests of the ‘buyers’ (I use the term loosely) of our sweat, labour, thought and time to create our IP - to keep their costs down. So, content is what THEY will continue to call it. Don’t fall into that trap.
Our costs are not kept down. Our net earnings do suffer. They are suffering badly.
Oh - and a quick reminder - been saying this for years. As have others - like 🖇️ Will Arnett talking to Dana Gould
It’s especially popular among developers and tech-savvy users like you

🔗 You Can Just Say No to the Data - Jim Nielsen’s Blog
You can - but perhaps a better thought is to consider the data, ask where it comes from, how was it arrived at, who compiled it, whether it’s relevant and … and …and

🔗 Age verification on Roblox using AI is not good – FlowingData
In fact, WIRED has found multiple examples of people advertising age-verified accounts for minors as young as 9 years old on eBay for as little as $4.

When the Fischer-Spassky match #2 was being played in Yugoslavia, I relied on the moves of the games being faxed to me.

Maybe - but an excellent hierarchy. Going forward .. could well be adopting. Thank you sir.

This clever confection is a mystery about murderers who don’t kill people and murders that mysteriously do not occur.

Sidenote: Why in the world is Meta’s VP of comms doing this on Twitter/X, not Threads, which continues to grow?

Another Sidenote: Why in the world is anyone on Twitter at all.. sorry ‘that’s where my audience is’ doesn’t cut it.
Get Off .. or continue to support all the depravity … all of it .. even the bits you can’t see .. it’s still there. Like racism in America before Tяump .. it didn’t magically appear .. it’s just come out of the shadows.
