There’s a lot of overlap. What’s considered art and what’s considered non-art content? Maybe obvious in some cases, but probably not in many cases. Every company needs a content strategy. Artists provide much of that, whether they’re employees of the companies or contracted externally.

My point is that there is increasing demand for content. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. It’s complementary to art and artists.
Content is some kind of media created solely for consumption on social media platforms, whereas music and art are music and art.
I think content is another way of saying filler, like skits on a Fugees album. They could be amusing one time (two time) but then forgotten forever more.
Although an alternative view could be the complete opposite… I dunno.
I used to make ‘content’ a few years back, which for me where short music/film clips for insta but it always felt follow compared to making a complete piece of music. More high time preference I guess.
Yea there’s definitely a difference, in purpose, style, etc
I see them as complementary. Content as you define it is still a major industry and provides many artists with opportunities. I don’t think there’s a need to demonize it, although I would agree that art is something deeper and richer within the human experience.
