You're talking about the goals of the platform hosting us for free.

I'm talking about our personal motivation, regardless of platform. And I'm trying to say that when the motivation is to 'create content' the result is worthless, and I think you're doing yourself a disservice accepting that.

Sure, but motivation and outcome don’t need to line up.

I may not be writing this comment to create content (I’m actually really enjoying this discussion.)

But that doesn’t change that I am creating content for the HN platform.
