Morphology

content + creator

The noun is directly compositional: 'content' (information/material) + 'creator' (one who creates) yields 'a person who creates content', so the core meaning is transparently derived from the parts. The modern specification that this usually refers to online/social-media publishing is a predictable usage extension and follows common cross-linguistic noun-compounding patterns, so a B1 learner knowing both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Content creator comes from the simple idea of a person who makes the things that fill a website or a video channel: content (the posts, videos, or pictures) and creator (someone who makes them). That's why today content creator means a person who makes and shares new material on the internet, especially on social media.
