Before you dive in, make sure you'll start 2026 the right way. Track your new year resolutions in style, with the right tool. I built addTaskManager exactly for this, but you can use it to track finances, habits, anything.

What is bio content and why 2026 might be its breakout year.

I believe 2026 will be the year of “bio content”, a.k.a. human generated content, as opposed to AI slop. And I’m willing to bet on this.

As of now, the first official video of my YouTube channel is live. Unsurprisingly, my channel is called @bio-content, and this first video explains a little my intuition (which, again, may or may not be true) and what type of content you can see on that channel. Kind of an introduction.

Here’s what you’ll find in the video.

Why Bio Content Matters

Think about what happened with food. Genetic engineering gave us abundance—cheap produce, available everywhere, year-round. But it came at a cost. We got “cardboard vegetables”: always available but tasteless. Now people pay premium prices for bio produce. Not because it’s more efficient, but because it’s authentic, real.

The same shift is coming for content. AI can generate infinite text, images, and videos. The internet is already overloaded with it. But as abundance rises, so does the need for authenticity. Bio content isn’t about fighting AI—it’s about offering something AI can’t replicate: genuine human experience.

How to Spot the Real Content

How do you tell bio content from AI slop? In the video, I share three markers that distinguish authentic, human-generated content: a human face, verifiable time online, and a story. These aren’t random criteria. They’re the elements that remain hard to fake at scale, especially over time.

The Shovel Sellers

There’s also another pattern worth noting. During the gold rush, very few prospectors struck gold. But the people selling shovels and sieves? They made consistent money. The same dynamic will play out with AI. Few will succeed leveraging AI directly – specifically because of the sheer abundance and crushing competition. But those who share their authentic journey—the shovel sellers of bio content—will generate lasting value.

What to Expect from the Channel

The @bio-content channel will focus on three main topics this year: financial resilience, location independence, and meaningful relationships. These aren’t theoretical frameworks. I’ve been location-independent for 15 years, survived multiple financial resets, and learned hard lessons about what makes relationships work. Bio content, for me, means sharing that lived experience directly—without any AI embellishing.

The Bet

Will bio content actually take off? I don’t really know. This is a bet, I don’t have a magic crystal ball. But the pattern feels familiar. Every time technology creates artificial abundance, a counter-movement emerges valuing the authentic original. Organic food. Vinyl records. Handmade stuff. Human-generated content might be next.
