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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

MODERATORS
Nah, he's just fucking stupid and out of touch how his platform and internet works. He wanted to make profit on companies scraping data for ai's and move people to official app with ton of apps before IPO but he didn't expect to people retaliate that much. Now because users were stupid enough to make strike only 48 hours long he decided to wait it out and he was correct, it worked for him and users are giving up with the strike. At least there are still subreddits that strike but it's nothing compared to first 2 days.
Many subreddits didn't even last 2 full days which says a lot about redditors
Some subreddits are even reopening because moderators don't want to lose their position of slave working for free lol
What money is there to make off of language model AIs? They've been using reddit comments/interactions for a long time now. They're too late.
I'm wondering the same, language models have been on the training for years, they already have all the reddit data they want, why would anyone spend a lot of money now for something they already have?
Unless there's something new we're not yet aware of, I don't see how "scraping AI" is a valid reason for what spez is doing.
