Try not to vomit when hearing the words "Consuming content" challenge (Impossible)
@OpenComputeDesign I hate the opposition to this term because I don't know what to replace it with that's just as general as the original.
"Enjoying media" perhaps? or is that also treyf?
@light Enjoying media works for me. But then, back in my day, it wasn't "content", it was "multimedia"

@OpenComputeDesign I guess i'd focus on what the actual content is. Is it satirical, informative, entertaining...? Without that clarification, saying "content" is an invitation for me to stare blankly, waiting for the... dun dun duuuun content of the utterance.
"multimedia" always sounds like try-hard overselling it, it's usually just moving pictures and sound, so a video. Can't remember one instance where "multimedia" was used differently irl.

@OpenComputeDesign
You say "soulless", i say "marketing", but in a very consumer degrading way. It sounds like just saying the word is supposed to get me to think it was something i wanted, but it withholds what the actual content is...
@light
@admitsWrongIfProven @light I understood "multimedia" to be anything capable of, well, more than one form of "media" (Be it text, sound, images, moving images, or even things with interactable graphics) So for instance, if you have a text article with embedded gifs, or a wikipedia page with embedded sound snippets, those would also count as multimedia, and not just videos.
Of course, it was a bit oversold, at least at first. But at least it's not as actively soulless as "content"
