Except that it's "interpolated".

That was my first instinct, too, but instead of reflexively posting about it I double checked and found I was wrong and learned something new.

I suspect they’re using the second definition of the word (per Google):

I read it as saying the audience and their reaction to the content is what gives the “creator” their identity.

No, that's inserting a value. Interpellation is the international police organization popularized by Carmen Sandiego.
