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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the post. I was under the impression that they are talking about intros/ads to other shows on the same service.

Example: I start a brand new show and I’m immediately hit with an ad for another show on the same service, before I can watch the show I actually selected.

Are you taking about previews? Yes, those are ads. The intro to a show that is the same every episode, those aren't ads, but are skipable.

Yes, the previews. Sorry, I misread.

The intro is the opening sequence of the show. People usually watch that on the first episode, but if you're binge-watching a show you don't want to keep seeing the intro over and over again for each episode.
