Responding to a post about how awful the term “content” is for everything we do online.
I can imagine web devs talking about layout vs. content as tech terms back in the day, only to have corporate marketing/legal jump on the term and run with it in the worst, dehumanizing way possible.
I wouldn’t say it was ever a *great* term. I’m just speculating on possible etymology. It wouldn’t be the first or last time a jargon term got stretched way beyond its narrow use case.
