所谓内容创业到底是啥?
海明威不会被称为内容生产者,我们读到好的书看到好的电影也不会称赞多么棒的“内容”,你在路上听播客也不会认为这是“content”,商品化的新(自)媒体使内容尴尬(媚俗——cringe详见之前推送的解读应该可以在achieve里面搜到),希望小型出版商和个人创造者能够重新定义被污染的内容。(引用较长,见末尾)

This article from Current Affairs is why I wanted to make this podcast. The business models for media and tech are broken and The Truth Is Paywalled but the Lies Are Free. The line that sums it up? "What’s amazing is that the difficulty of creating this situation of 'fully democratized information' is entirely economic rather than technological."

“We never call anything that’s good ‘content’. Nobody walks out of a movie they loved and says, ‘Wow! What great content!’ Nobody listens to ‘content’ on their way to work in the morning. Do you think anybody ever called Ernest Hemingway a ‘content creator’? If they did, I bet he would punch ‘em in the nose.” – Greg Satell, 2015
The word ‘content’ makes many of us cringe. Not least because we use ‘content’ as a catch-all phrase to describe very different types of creative output. A 15,000-word piece of investigative journalism and a sponsored influencer post about a vegan shampoo brand – in the eyes of platform algorithms, it’s one and the same. It’s all just stuff that goes into the space that’s there to be filled.
Of course, that’s what content is to social platforms: fuel for their data collection engine. Big Tech realised early that there is little money in content, but a lot of money in a content delivery model. Kudos to them, I guess.
Figuring out how to make content the actual business model again (and not just fodder for the business model) remains a huge challenge for publishers everywhere. If you squint hard enough, though, you may see the beginnings of a paradigm shift.
As we’re growing increasingly weary of algorithmic curation that keeps flooding our zone with shit, some of us make more intentional decisions about their media intake. We increasingly turn to (and are willing to pay for) more relatable, human voices that respect our attention and build meaningful connections.
Maybe, just maybe, with small-scale publishers and individual content creators leading the way, we can turn the tide and redefine the meaning and value of ‘content’. – Kai
