[ CREATOR ][ WORKFLOW ][ SOCIAL_MEDIA ][ NOUN ]
A creator-culture shorthand for the private graveyard of unfinished ideas, half-edited clips, and posts that never made it to publish.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The video isn't dead, it's just spending a week in the draft folder."
LORE & ORIGIN
Native to short-form creator workflows where volume matters, making the draft folder both a productivity tool and an emotional museum of abandoned versions.
