>>4379992>...I can only assume people now are more infatuated with the idea of photography, than they are taking actual fucking photographsBingo. It's a lot easier to push some sliders around with shitty post-editing to mask the inherit shittness of a phone photo, than to actually learn how to take decent photographs and invest in actual gear.
Fuck, I mean even a $100 Canon crop kit will allow normies to take decent photographs as long as they're willing to learn, but alas poor Yorrick instagram will push your masterpiece aside the second the algo deems it, so why bother putting any actual effort in? Try Flickr. It's also dead, but at least it doesn't mega compress your shit and allows you to have some kind of online presence.
