Los creadores de contenido digital han revolucionado la producción y el consumo mediático y de entretenimiento; además, se han erigido como nuevas modalidades de trabajadores creativos asociados a la expansión del poder cultural, tecnológico, económico y social de las plataformas digitales. En este texto se propone una revisión bibliográfica de los principales conceptos, modelos teóricos e investigaciones que han explicado y categorizado las prácticas y experiencias de los creadores de contenido digital y, en particular, su relación con las plataformas digitales para las que trabajan como captadores de atención. Los principales conceptos se enmarcan en tres apartados: la relación entre visibilidad y atención; las estrategias de visibilidad y supervivencia de los creadores de contenido digital, y las experiencias de precariedad y problemas emocionales y psicológicos que sufren los creadores digitales. Finalmente, se sugieren un conjunto de propuestas que pueden guiar futuras líneas de investigación con base en algunas tendencias actuales del fenómeno vinculadas a la potencial consolidación del sector profesional y creativo formado por los creadores de contenido digital y también a la identificación de carencias en la literatura científica generada hasta el momento.
