I think that most posts are complaining that what is being called "content creation" has been reduced to simply organising others' content, which isn't without value but is minimally "creative".

It may be minimally creative, but might be an essential ingredient for efficiently linking a person's interests with content related to those interests.
Some of these comments show a heavy bias towards creating consumable content over actually creating something new and physical. My experience with users of Pinterest is that they increase their actual output of creative physical things. I think that's good. If they don't blog about their experience creating a new Christmas card holder or batch of cookies that's fine by me (I liked eating the cookies).
