>>4201636Ok, go back to your echo chamber of compliments
I remember when I first started shooting film back in 2016 and I posted some 30 photos from my first 3 rolls
Of course there were useless comments like "these look like trash", "these are snapshits" and so on (hence why you have to filter the valid criticism from the useless ones)
But there was some person who broke down every picture I posted, not only telling me they were shit, but actually telling me why they were shit
And don't say "hurr everyone is on a different path"
Fuck off
The person caught my attention to stuff like "hey, don't merely photograph a cool graffiti. It's a 'cool pic' because of the graffiti itself, but you're adding nothing to it by simply reproducing it", for example
The person did that for every single photo posted
I thought about all of those stuff, and I did agree with lots of criticisms I had not even thought about before
And I also disagreed with some other criticisms and kept doing what I was doing, but at least I stopped to think about those things I was mindlessly doing before (hence why you need to know how to take criticism and how to ponder over them)
And I improved greatly from this
If I had posted those pictures on Reddit I'd probably be making those same mistakes now, 7 years later, because no one there would dare to speak up
Either that or I would have taken a much longer time to improve and would certainly be a way worse photographer than I am now
Read what I posted before, because your response is absolutely incoherent with what I've said
I'm not expecting too much from someone who says '
"criticism is only opinion" and "we don't have too much background information", though
This extreme relativization is completely moronic
