Excellent piece. I found the term "content" jarring (no pun intended) when it started being used. Now, like many, I've grown used to it. Your essay reminds us of what is insidious in that framing.
It was an earnest suggestion, seeing as LinkedIn is rife with the sort of language it seems to reward: A very specific, slightly breathless cadence. Experiences are "privileges," failures are "pivot-learning-opportunities," and our work... Well, our work is "content."
