Adobe charging a subscription fee for LR & PS.
All these YT photographers charging money for their “become a better photographer” courses that promise nonsense.
The race to the bottom in wedding photography for lowest price.
Instagram… need I say more?
Point 1: I don’t have a problem with the price. It’s the spending money every month for a piece of software.
Point 2: You are absolutely correct. Same thing for these people who sell presets for LR.
Point 3: I have actually heard “my nephew can do it for a case of beer”. I smile and say “Hey no worries, we all have to start somewhere.”
Point 4: I quit posting when I realized the only photos that gained traction were photos of bands that they would turn around and use on their IG and FB without bothering to give credit. Or my favorite, “Hey my girlfriend is a photographer and wants your raws can you hook her up?”
