In Great Automatic Grammatizator by Roald Dahl was one of the
stories that stayed with me through the years. In the story, there is a machine that can write stories, replacing authors but they were at least paying real authors to use their names.

Somewhere along the way the wires in my brain have crossed and started associating the word 'content' with 'litter'. So a 'content creator' became 'litterer'. It made it make sense to me why the internet feels more and more awful. It's like a park being more and more covered with litter.
“Content” comes from a world where selling adverts is the primary business and the “content” is just used as a bait or lure to attract eyeballs. The quality of the “content” is a remote concern.
