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.

In the future, the artists of retro-looking videos will artificially add compression artifacts instead of film grain. (lemmy.world)

They might do that, in a dynamic fashion. However, if it's being used artistically, they likely will want a particular effect. Having greater control over the artifacts might be useful. E.g. lots of artifacts, but none happening to effect the face of the actor, while they are actually speaking.

They might also only want 1 type of artifact, but not another. E.g. want blocking, but not black compression.
