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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yes, but in theory this is factored into the price. If you get 1/4 good images then a service that provided 4/4 good images could be 4x as expensive. If a service lowers their quality to push people to regenerate more often in theory those people will see their costs going up and quality go down and switch to a competitor.
This space is pretty competitive. So while tricks like this may be used in the short term to obscure the actual cost of using the service this will probably be noticed by reviewers and customers and will likely balance itself out over time.
