A content consumer in this context, the word "consumer" isn't a label. It's an action, and they're more important than a creator. I just consumed your response here. Without this, you'd be talking to the void.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I agree, the term "consumer" is just a label. A person can freely be both here.
Luckily you didn't leave me talking to the walls.
No, it's not a label it's an action. In the same way creating is an act. Yes you can freely do both. However, on the internet, most consume. That's the natural flow.
I think this is the biggest taboo to be broken if you want, of course... But I don't see any problem with just consuming it in this case on Hive.
Now... I'm more used to INLEO, for example, I don't have the same interest in spending hours in front of Instagram.
All I do here these days is consume. I don't consider publishing a Thread to be creating content. Just writing a comment and having a conversation.
I've been trying to point out the lack of embracing the role of consumer for years.
So this is a battle you've been fighting for a long time, my friend?
So I believe I understand what your profile is. And you're not wrong about that, it's a choice you made and everyone is always welcome here.
Yes. Trying to make people see "consuming" doesn't make you a "lesser human". Trying to make people see how it's not creators vs consumers. They compliment one another and are both equally important.
I arrived home. The birthday was cool.
Well, I agree with you. The "reader" when commenting on content does not make it less than the content creator.
I also have the same thought that both have their importance and relevance within the platform.
One would not exist without the other, for example.
