Do we need a general term? Someone who uploads their videos to a video platform is probably a "video producer".

So what should we say when discussing people who make video, audio, text media?
I see their point about "content", where, on YouTube, for example, it devalues the videos as subordinate to YouTube as a platform, but I think as people use the word "content" it loses that connotation.
