A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Acting like because it’s shot in film it’s art by default.
IG is currently filled with this. Like very bad photos shot on film getting some hype cause it was shot on film. Quite funny
Right and like your iPhone is free. People really spent $$ on film, developing and scanning for objectively bad pictures
You have to take a few bad ones in the beginning to start taking good ones.
Personally I've started dabbling into film photography because I think the process is neat. I still take my digital camera with me when I take my film camera though as I'd hate to miss the shot while I'm still learning film
I started with digital and I feel that it's been a great way to learn photography because unlike film the turn around for finding out if the pictures look bad is really fast
Your second point is true. I’ve only ever shot film and it took a long time for me to be “good” at taking photos. It’s a long process but very rewarding too!
