Content Creators
There’s an ugly side to this business, online. Called Content Creators, as useful a term as any, the downside is when one gets scattered across multiple websites, various location for single silo type work.
Tao Te Ching
Number 37
The Tao in its regular course does nothing (for the sake of doing it), and so there is nothing which it does not do.
If princes and kings were able to maintain it, all things would themselves be transformed by them.
If this transformation became to me an object of desire, I would express the desire by the nameless simplicity.
Simplicity without a name is free from all external aim. With no desire, at rest and still, All things go right as of their will.
Then, too, I’m interested in less work, not more work.
Content Creators
The question came up when I was scrolling through various feeds for news and views. It was — more than once — “check out my work on this site over there,” kind of mention. Link. Links.
What prompted a question though, was the nature of scattered works. Instead of more places, I’ve opted to have work appear in fewer places.
While far from exhaustively complete, my process of concatenation is well on its way.
Content Creators
The idea of content itself? That can take a variety of forms. There is video, which should be audio-visual, but in some cases, is purely background footage. Audio alone, but in the last decades, that’s grown to include visual. So those two run together.
What I was noticing was an almost exponential growth of content creators with online courses of one ilk or another.
While not new, the relative explosion, then, a former software developer offering course-ware in various pieces of software, and information about how to navigate the user-interface, and then, the simple, step-by-step instructions?
Yes, the exponential growth of such material points to a problem, again, an over-saturated space. Might be me, though.
