user-contributed content

User-contributed content refers to information, comments, images, videos, or other material that people share on websites, social media, or online platforms. Instead of the platform creating or controlling all content, users voluntarily add original content to engage with others or share their experiences. Examples include social media posts, reviews, forums, and community-driven articles. This collaborative approach helps websites stay dynamic and relevant, fostering a sense of community. While it enriches the online experience, platforms often have guidelines to ensure shared content is appropriate and respectful.
