What Does 'OC / Original Content' Mean?

[ CREATOR CULTURE ][ ATTENTION ECONOMY ]

FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Social MediaCLUSTER: Creator Identity

Content genuinely made by the person posting it, as opposed to something found or reposted elsewhere — a status worth explicitly claiming once reposting became common enough to make originality itself notable.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Tagged as OC, made the whole thing from scratch this weekend."

LORE & ORIGIN

A tag and identity marker that became necessary once distinguishing original creators from reposters required an explicit label rather than an assumed default.
