What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? "A Digital Creator." [View all]

I'm seeing the "digital creator" profession more and more on random Facebook posters. They are the people who copy and paste Reddit posts, images and content from other posters, and page after page of bogus "Tipping" receipts as their "work."

It has become a huge thing on Facebook. Now, I don't know if Facebook pays "creators" who generate lots of clicks, but it looks like all those folks are trying to make a career out of stealing other people's content and posting it as their own.

Facebook, by the way, doesn't care. As far as it is concerned, "digital creators" are legitimate users.

I think it's disgusting, though. Nothing is created - just copied and pasted over and over again.
