Goblin Secrets About content

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified content as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

If you ever find yourself explaining content to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of content will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features throne as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on content

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on content is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
