Content is short for Content Farms

Content used to be a bad word. Now it's a billion-dollar strategy, and we're all paying the price.My very first day on the job happened to fall on February 2011. The exact day Google dropped its Panda update and wiped out an entire industry overnight. I watched a manager and lead dev scream at each other while the company's ad revenue hit exactly zero. Welcome to the world of content farms.In this video, I trace how "content" went from a dirty word to a career aspiration, and why it isn't a good thing. From the SEO spam era of the early 2010s to today's YouTube tutorials that make you sit through a NordVPN ad before telling you how to turn your water heater back on, the game hasn't really changed. Only the players have.Don't reduce yourself to a content strategy. Create things you're proud of.Source: - https://idiallo.com/blog/content-is-bad- https://idiallo.com/blog/create-content-or-create-art
