Ok, so first, content creation. That seems positive, right? Wrong! The best way I've seen of explaining this: "Why should I take the time to read something nobody took the time to write?"

I think this one is a huge net societal negative. The people out there who want instant "content" are almost entirely not readers. They're people who want something to run ads against. They're people who want the credit for writing without doing the work. They're people who want to sell you something without understanding the something or whether or not it might be good for you. In short, they're people with various levels of contempt for their readers.
