I know that at surface-level it might seem weird for me to share and agree with a piece like this. I’m a marketer literally specialized in “content” and often working with SEO + some of my favorite people are SEO professionals who contributed, some to a large degree, to the industry becoming what you talk about here.
But also, while I don’t know what those people thought back in 2008, but I do know that now they also believe in valuing the work of writers, supporting this strike, and getting back to a respect for creative professionals.
Marketing doesn’t work well if you’re pumping out content with zero thought for what that “content” includes.

It’s a way for artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, and all kinds of creatives to put their talents and their artistic sensibility into promoting commercial projects.
