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.
Rules

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the post. I was under the impression that they are talking about intros/ads to other shows on the same service.
Example: I start a brand new show and I’m immediately hit with an ad for another show on the same service, before I can watch the show I actually selected.
Are you taking about previews? Yes, those are ads. The intro to a show that is the same every episode, those aren't ads, but are skipable.
Yes, the previews. Sorry, I misread.
The intro is the opening sequence of the show. People usually watch that on the first episode, but if you're binge-watching a show you don't want to keep seeing the intro over and over again for each episode.
