Been reading through prompts here for a week and I swear half of them are just copied from a Netflix show with the names swapped

I saw three different prompts this morning that were basically just Stranger Things plots but set in a coffee shop and it's making me wonder if anyone actually tries to come up with something original anymore, has anyone else noticed this or am I scrolling at the wrong time?

Right?? I spent like 20 minutes yesterday scrolling past variations on the exact same "mysterious stranger walks into my bookstore" prompt and it was all just slow burn romance tropes repackaged.

You know, I actually used to defend people on this, saying there's no such thing as a fully original idea and we're all just remixing stuff. But after a week of seeing the same "enemies to lovers" bookstore prompt with slightly different character names, I gotta admit you've got a point. It's gotten to where I can almost predict the next line before I finish reading a post. Like, come on, how many mysterious strangers can walk into one coffee shop before it stops being mysterious and starts being a health code violation?
