>>2620722I'd wager it's now true than not. I'd bet good money if there were stone way to verify such that /p/ reflects the real world in that the vast majority of photographers are hobbyiest and/or self taught with no real education on how to actually c&c an image.
>>2620740>not at the level where advice is applicablethis is one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard said. Just admit you're a prick. Intellectual dishonesty isn't a good look on anyone.
Your Ramsey example is similarly ignorant. It presupposes competence. Ramsey wouldn't flip his shit were he served that by someone he knew had no clue what they were doing. Nah, it's more like him randomly showing up at an introductory cooking class on the first day, then telling everyone their cooking is shit and leaving. Nothing of use or value was imparted.
>>2620824>thinking it takes "spine" to call something shit on an anonymous message boardIf we're being real, here it takes more spine to say you like something or point out what was done right. But even that doesn't take much spine. No one on the "it's shit isn't criticism"side wants anyone to sugar coat c&c. We're saying that you should then say why it is shit or not bother at all. You don't have to write a book, even just a few extra words addressing the biggest problem with the image.
>only critique what is worth improvingthis is so stupid it hurts. You don't know shit about whoever is posting. They might have just picked up a camera. Hell, they could have shot for years and just needed a slightly different perspective to change everything about how they do things. You don't and can't know this.
I'm not going to bother with any note specific replies, but I will say this, at the very least those of you who will keep posting just "it's shit"stop pretending type doing anything of worth. It's indefensible from that point of view. If you're just an asshole, that's fine, but own that you're an asshole.
