Content vs Beitrag

contribution / post

'der Beitrag' and 'der Content' can both belong to media, especially digital media. 'Beitrag' usually means one individual piece: for example, an article, a comment, a forum post, or a publication on social networks. 'Content' more often means the content as a whole, that is, texts, images, videos, or podcasts on a website, in an app, or on social media. The words can be confused because a post can be a form of content. If you are talking about one specific individual element, 'Beitrag' fits better. If you are talking about the overall amount or type of digital content, 'Content' is more natural.
