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.

I only really ever comment when I have something to say. This usually is only when I disagree with something.

That’s why my upvote ratio is terrible. I rarely comment when I agree with something someone has said. I bet my ratio would be a lot better if I did.

But that’s just human nature, I think. Some people crave acceptance and validation so they comment agreement and some people crave conflict and challenge, so they comment in disagreement.

Everyone is the hero of their own story, so I think they feel the need to “correct” perceived injustices.

I think your experience is common.

And I think AI exploits this, because it’s useful.
