It's a very common term now, and no fault of anyone for using it.

But it was introduced in its current sense (not in the protocol sense) by cynical and greedy exploiters, who spoiled much of the goodness of the Internet.

So when a random person casually says something like "consume content", unironically, it's like saying, "it's got what plants crave...".
