Contentism

Category: Individual Theory, Phenomenon Theory

Acts that conlangers make contents with their conlangs or conworlds desperately to achieve fame. They are common among ART. Seren was a typical example from 2003 to 2013.
Generally speaking, many contents lead to increase of users, make conlangs or conworlds better known. For the history of conlanging, “the fact that a conlanger made contents (e.g. novel, manga, and movie) with his conlang first in world history” is a steady milestone and a solid evidence so that it is a chance for forerunners to go down in the history of conlanging. Besides, contents themselves work as teaching materials, record of being used, and corpus of the conlangs. So, it is not harmful to make contents.
However, some conlangers waste time in making various contents like illustration, music, programming, being in a rush to win fame, though their main occupation is conlanging. Such conlangers can’t concentrate on making their conlangs.
If a conlanger make various contents by himself, the quality of each content isn’t good. And if he outsources the production to experts, then it costs a fortune.
