It's been a decent heuristic. They are people who don't care much about their work. They just want to produce something and get attention for it.

"Content" is how you refer to the stuff on a website when you're designing the layout and don't know what actually goes on the page yet. "Content" is how you refer to the collection of odds and ends in your car's trunk. "Content" is what marketers call the stuff that goes around the ads.

So... Chicken videos? Gun show coverage? Porn?
