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.

Depends a lot on the genre.
For a landscape, it's pretty close to one and done. There's no real excuse to click the shutter before you have exactly what you want in the frame. Ditto for architecture, object study, etc.
Portraiture? Maybe one in four or so. You want to experiment and take a few and pick the best later.
Sports and action is mostly spray and pray. You shoot a hundred and hope one is the key moment.
I do action and portraiture. It’s hard to switch gears, and sometimes I end up with like 80 nearly identical shots because I just keep hitting that shutter button by reflex.
Sometimes I forget to take my camera off of high speed burst after shooting action, so my first landscape shot of the day I end up with 30 identical images of a tree
Good to make sure the tree does not get away.
