Use them, costs bandwidth and CPU cycles.

They do. Either due to technical ineptitude (like approximately everyone's parents) or, and that might be worse, with the conviction of doing "the right thing," like a friend of mine.

That won't make a difference. Reddit knows how much traffic they get and they use that number to sell ads

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.
