Stop Calling Yourself A Content Creator

from Curious & Inspired · host Matt Vandrick

The internet is eating itself—and we're all just watching it happen.In this first episode of Curious & Inspired, we're digging into the cultural wreckage of platforms we once loved: MTV's slow fade into irrelevance, Instagram's engagement apocalypse, and why your feed feels more like a graveyard than a gathering place. Plus: Joe Rogan's AI Jesus theories, Australia's attempt to ban social media for kids, and the bot invasion on Threads that's forcing us all to manually curate our digital lives.But the real conversation? It's about identity.Why are you calling yourself a "content creator"? That label is a trap. A corporate euphemism that reduces human expression to algorithmic outputs. If you're making something meaningful it's up to you to DEFINE who you truly are: a storyteller, artist, journalist, educator, or entrepreneur. Words shape reality, and "content creator" shapes you into nothing.This episode is for anyone who feels the existential weight of performing online, who senses something's broken but can't quite name it. We're asking better questions about technology, culture, and what we're actually building here.In This Episode:⚡️Why MTV's death signals the end of an era⚡️Instagram's engagement collapse and what it means for us⚡️Joe Rogan, AI, and the blasphemous connection to Mary & Jesus⚡️Australia's controversial social media age ban and what it reveals about control⚡️Bot-infested feeds and the exhausting labor of digital curation⚡️The "content creator" trap: Why your title is killing your creativity and intentionThe future deserves better questions. Let's start asking them.Subscribe for bi-weekly deep dives into the chaos where technology meets humanity. This isn't tech news—it's cultural archaeology for the digital age.Visit the Curious Inspired websiteVisit the Curious Inspired on YoutubeFollow Curious Inspired on InstagramFollow Curious Inspired on Facebook
