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.

Youtube, reddit, facebook. Careful algorithms to maximize my exposure to advertising membranes, to absorb nutrients out of my bank account.

Sounds more like a parasite than a heterotropic organism. If you were in the GI tract, it'd be a heterotroph, which means you'd be a one time use. But since it's consistently exposing you to situations where it's the main beneficiary, seems like it's parasitic and just taking you for all it can without much care for the repercussions.
