A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. (lemmy.world)

Heaps of content creators sold out to advertising interests and degraded their own platform. Not that I blame them really, money always talks

And new creators take their place, if you’re only seeing shit on YouTube it’s because you’re only subscribed to shit.

To be fair, a lot of the good ones have moved over to, or always has been on, Nebula. (I'm not getting paid for pitching Nebula, just saying.)

In essence, you're both right, to some degree, but not completely.
