Content is still a useful word because it tells you a lot about how the piece is distributed and consumed (i.e., "online"). All content, regardless of its type, is subjected to the same power laws of online distribution and attention (the medium is the message, and here the medium is the web). I can write the same 5,000 word story and its distribution (and perception) will be markedly different if I, say, post it to Substack, publish it in a prestigious magazine, or print out copies and hand them to random people on the street.

I agree with the 2nd & 3rd parts, but not sure how it relates to the word "content". Was your point that all media online is "content"?
