Content marketing is lame, a creative backwater, and almost unethical for the poor quality of discourse it promotes and seth godin wanna bes it spawns.

Still makes money though. Humanity blows

I had never heard the term "content marketing" before, so I did some Googling. I still wasn't quite sure I was clear on the concept until I found myself on the website of some ad agency and read this sentence:

'Anxious to get started or learn more about content marketing? Then download our complimentary white paper, "How to Attract and Retain Customers with Content NOW."'

I almost fell into the rift it created in the time-space continuum.
