Default Is mould inevitable on silicone in a shower?

If it stays wet, then mould is inevitable, IME even in the stuff allegedly
containing inhibitor.

I had a shower which was extremely prone to mould, but changed the
bathroom extractor fan to a humidistat-controlled one. Result - nice dry
bathroom and no mould regrowth.

David and Chris are right. Keep it dry by wiping down after showering. A
micropore cloth is very good for that.
