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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

A few genuine signals quickly become noise as everyone tries to be heard, demanding more and louder signals to stand out.

I think you mean advertising; and mostly brand advertising.

"Marketing" also includes things like market research, which don't necessarily involve advertising at all.

Fair, albeit I think many outside of the field are inclined to bundle the two together given how closely they coordinate. Plus it's a shower thought post, so not meant to appear too well thought out.
