I would say there is definitely still plenty of original content on the internet. Look up users such as mysteryguitarman or onision on youtube and you will quickly see that there is definitely still some genius and original minds on the internet.

There is original content everywhere all the time, you just have to look hard for it. Watch movies such as memento and requiem for a dream. Or, "A scanner darkly" is also a very good and original idea for a movie.

Point being, there is absolutely original content in the internet and more.

Actually A Scanner Darkly was based on the book of the same name by one of my favorite Science Fiction authors, Phillip K. Dick. He's had several of his books turned into moveis, like Paycheck, Minority Report, and Blader Runner, to name a few.


But yes, the book was totally original.

When a story is original (to me), it REALLY makes me think; it can be fun and enjoyable, and also quite challenging. Not original = boring, daze, easy, almost everything I see in modern entertainment media

Pushing daisies, dead like me, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, being john malkovitch, 2001 A space odyssey. All seem rather original.

That was the first time that combination of numbers and letters has been posted on the internet, according to the Yahoo! search engine.

So yeah, I think that original content exists when given a specific realm.

To be honest I think this discussion is more about original thought than content. Because content is original via the fact it's never been done before. But your saying it's not via the thought process that went into it being influenced by something else.

that's no original content since all of those letters and numbers existed before you put them together.
at least that's how I see it.
I'll repeat myself again:
NOTHING CAN OR WILL EVER BE 100% ORIGINAL
as everything is derived from something else.
Therefore the only original thing would be the Big Bang (or God if you believe in that)

I'm one of the people who don't believe in original content. I believe all content is inspired, infinitely recycled, and even stolen.

[Johncoyne]

If you mean it in that sense, yeah, nothing can be truly created or destroyed. So nothing is really original.

Why should we crave original content if what we see as "unique" is mostly based on other things that we like?

Everything has its influence.
