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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
Posts must be original/unique
Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Netflix is the Google of streaming platforms: They cancel their shows quickly, much like Google does with its services. (piefed.ca)

It just dawned on me that Netflix is behaving exactly like Google: https://killedbygoogle.com/. Many of their shows do not survive past season one, so people no longer follow new shows for fear that they will be canceled. Similarly, many people do not trust new Google services for fear that they will be canceled.

Given the context of this post about content creation, what's the role of jellyfin?

Jellyfin lets you selfhost & stream video & audio content. From the role of a consumer of media. ie, you physically have the bits on a disk somewhere you own, but still want streaming/sharing/etc.

For a creator, the more relevant thing is Ghost , a self-hosted Patreon/Substack alternative. Again, so you can't be booted off Someone Else's Platform.

I know, I use jellyfin. My point was that it was irrelevant to this discussion given that we're talking about Netflix as a content creator, not a media server.
