I think you missed the point.
He was poking fun at the current culture by calling him a "content creator".
I saw this talk in person, and it was obvious in that context.

This was also a joke, which was very clear to me from reading it (I wasn't there). I thought it was hilarious how straight he played it.
I wasn't being sarcastic. I was agreeing with the comment I replied to (by forsaken, which pointed out a joke), and disagreeing with the long comment it replied to (by kafkaesque). You might think I'm being sarcastic now, but I can't do anything more than tell you I'm not.
Wait... I can show you I wasn't sarcastic, by noting the signal that Maciej Ceglowski was joking: he longwindedly repeated (almost) verbatim a long phrase describing the thing that he deplored, and that he would do.
Tim Ferriss-style lifehacks and inspirational quotes
Another signal is the general tone is jokey (and he was even explicit about trolling the audience with Ayn Rand).
Not sure why I'm going to such trouble to clarify. I guess I just don't like being misunderstood. Also, it happened to me once before that someone thought I was being sarcastic online when I wasn't, and I didn't correct it (which I later felt was wrong of me).
