Original Content, noun, often abbreviated as OC
Content, usually refering to online content, that is new, unique, and/or original and was created by the person posting it (usually OP).
More generally, it means media, written works, jokes, or conversational topics that are not corny and haven't been beaten to death. Original Content is gold, it brings value into the world and light into the dark recesses of the Web.
It can also mean a new iteration or spin on an already-existing Internet meme.
The opposite of original content is a repost.

I can't give examples of original content, because then it would cease to be original content.
Examples of the OPPOSITE of original content:
Yo dawg...

Uses selfies or other content posted on one social media platform again on another platform in hopes that nobody will notice in order to maximise reach and validation in the form of likes and comments . A form of laziness of not providing new refreshing content.
Jake posted his snapchat mystory selfie from two weeks ago, only now on instagram, what a content recycler.

Ads that have adapted to adblockers, and became "real" stories about saving 15 percent or more on car insurance. Also the 265th episode of South Park.
I just want to watch the news, but then I'm looking at an ad. I try to click the x, but it turns out its a link for the top ten worst celebrity plastic surgeries ever. So as I'm looking through it I get another ad leading to a slideshow on money making hacks even though it isn't even a hack, leading me to another ad, but I just want to know about the presidential campaign, but when I try to go back it turns out its a link to some sponsored content about Geico. And then the cycle repeats.

The definition above knows absolutely nothing of what they are saying. Content creation does NOT necessarily imply a profession. Content creators are simply someone who has the passion to create digital content of any medium. This could be anything from being a YouTube vlogger, a Twitch streamer, an animator, a fanfic writer, a food blogger, etc etc. They may do it purely as a hobby or as a paid profession. Sometimes, the hobby may turn into a profession once they secure a consistent fanbase.
Most new content creators ARE aware and concede to the fact that digital content creation is a form of precarious insecure work. However, they do it anyways because they are passionate about it. They don't ever expect it to replace a full-time job, but with persistent dedication and a growing fanbase, their passion might grow into a stable source of income. No need to throw shade at content creators just because you low-key envy it over your ho-hum office job.

YouTuber: "I'm a content creator."
Condescending Person: "Still struggling to hold down a job, then?"
YouTuber: "No, because I have 300K+ subscribers who enjoy my quality content and make around $30K-50K ad revenue yearly. So tell me about that office job of yours."
