>>4313370"Photography is done for, this consoomer shit is good enuff" has been repeated countless times for the past 20 fucking years but it's never actually been done for
Because it's never actually been good enough except for the normie-minus class that is incapable of being discerning. Their brains function at a lower level and basically filter the additional info out - if your theory of mind can't comprehend this, imagine a jar of beans. Highly intelligent people will make a more accurate guess regarding the number of beans in the jar. A worker-breeder class man who thinks a phone is good enough or even the same as a camera has a stronger filter in their mind so the jar of beans is a single unit.
What actually died was standalone normie visual-notetakers and you normies and sub-midwits have been lamenting it every day every year and calling that shit "photography", but "autists" are a larger percentage of the population than you think. Because when you say "autist", you mean people 1SD+ ahead of the avg IQ. These are the cultural ubermensch. The people with discerning taste. The people whose brains are running smoothly and quickly enough to notice the little things and conceive of abstract aesthetic values.
These people are never going away, so "real photogaphy" isn't either. We CAN'T go away - at least not without everyone suffering greatly. Society depends on the midwits+ class to run basic services like education, healthcare, the justice system, government, advanced manufacturing, etc. Society depends on the midwits+ class to progress. It encompasses the genius class, but also people you probably never thought of - the hordes of undergrads, techs, and assistants that help make genius ideas into practical reality.
Also, high end cameras are a glorified offshoot of industrial and medical imaging so the R&D is always going to be there as long as we have a decent civilization.
