Content Creator (Page 4): God. "And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good." Sounds like the Creator was quite content! Ain't Inglish wunnerful? --Rich...

Sure there would be. Going to google is good for looking up definitions, UHH is good for discussing photography. Asking for a definition of “Content Creator” has nothing to do with photography.

Whatever happened to Conversation? Why is it so hated?

Mayhap we need a separate grouping for questions that are "verboten" in UHHH?

Query: Are photographers not "content creators"? (Pulling out dictionary of connotations!)

1) There already is a separate grouping. General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk) is the UHH Section where this topic probably belongs. Unfortunately, it is quite common for a topic to be started in the wrong group (This started out in Main Photography Discussion). For instance, politics and religion should be restricted to The Attic, and Admin will send them there if they show up elsewhere!

2) Photographers most definitely are content creators. "Content" in this context is anything that conveys meaning, evokes interest, entertains, educates, or is consumed by a reader, viewer, listener, or other consumer of that sort of information.

Except that making photographs for any specific purpose is creating content for that purpose...

Some other examples:

Software engineering

Developing recipes for a cookbook

Writing a novel

Making a film

Producing a toy catalog for a retailer

Researching, writing, and photographing or video recording a news story

Producing a product review to post on YouTube

Making a funny video about squirrels or porch pirate glitter bombs to post on YouTube (Google Mark Rober for the penultimate examples of such content creation.)

When I replied, I was more pointing at the noise generated by some of the replies. I have been in many chat rooms since the 1980s. So I am aware of the tendency for a free for all atmosphere that can erupt. As for Google, it is just a "hodge podge" of information. One has to form the question with the answer within it, still.

An aspect of a Content Creator is the questions one asks. And discussed.

And those "Porta-potties", where more content is created.

Using a smartphone camera in a porta-potty sounds a wee bit perverted, and is not a very smart idea... You could drop the phone in the, umm….

I'm sure some teen has had to explain to his/her mom, "I dropped my phone in a portolet."

"Good! No more TikTok Twitch for you, kid."

I thought it was a photography forum. But, you are correct, every year it gets less and less about photography and more about chit chat. Using the word camera or photography once, even out of context, keeps many.posting out of the chit chat section.

Hard to count the number of times we refer someone from here to online training videos for answers to specific LR or PS questions. Somebody (many somebodies by the looks of a lot of 'em) wrote, lit, shot, edited and posted every one of those. We all benefit from the fact that that stuff is out there, even if we individually don't actually use much, or even any, of it.

I am perfect OK with questions that a simple Google will find the answer or a look at the manual will find the answer. I don't mind doing the Google or looking up the manual of camera I don't own to answer a fellow member.
What I do feel very bad that many posted a question and then I asked the OP something to verify what he/she meant I don't get a respond. I really hate people who feel they have the right to ask but they don't want to be asked. It's only fair if you feel OK to ask the others should be OK to ask you.
