The term “Content Consumer” has been with us for a while now. Have you wondered what it means? Are you a “Content Consumer”? Do you “Produce Content” for others to “Consume”? What is “Quality Content”? Would you say that you are a “Quality Content Consumer” and\/ or a “Quality Content Creator”? How do you know?<\/span><\/p>\n

We are all generally deluged with content every day. Some of us are careful with what we consume while others complain about being overwhelmed with too much junk. Still others voice concerns over privacy and fears of being exploited by marketers. We all want to be kept in the know when good stuff is available. We want to buy good stuff as cheaply as we can and perhaps sell our own content for as high a price as others are willing to pay us for. Everyone is selling and everyone is buying. So how do we discern what’s really good for us to “consume”? Would we be as concerned with the quality of what we produce or do we focus on ways to get as many people to buy whatever content we happen to create?<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer is that it’s really up to each and every one of us. We choose what we want, so stop whining about being overwhelmed by huge volumes of mostly useless or irrelevant or even harmful content. I consume lots of content myself. I don’t simply take in everything without chewing on it and figuring out whether it makes sense or how much of it is fact and how much is conjecture. Conjecture is perfectly acceptable if you know that it’s the content creator’s viewpoint or opinions and may not necessarily be similar to your own interpretations of the same set of facts. Everyone has an opinion. The important thing is to note whether those opinions fit the facts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Someone shared a video with me recently. It’s called “Q&A session with Dr Paul Ananth Tambyah on the COVID situation in Singapore” and I’ve embedded it here.<\/span><\/p>\n
