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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I’ve never really seen influencers having the same kind of pull that the general public has. In most cases, (Tik Tok, Snapchat, Instagram, etc) the general public engages in a new form of social media first. Influencers and advertisers are usually secondary to the general public.
That’s probably why platforms like Mixer fail. Companies think they can prop up their own platforms based on the people they pick and choose. But it really doesn’t seem to work like that from what I’ve seen as well.
