the whole article reads like a real 'fuck you' to the subscriber

>>4304122
The answer is the split is somewhere else but his heads too far up his ass to see it

Its essentially bitching about auto trans, ABS, traction control, “BUT THE LAP TIMES AINT SHOWIN IT AND THESE KIDS CANT CORRECT OVERSTEER FO SHIT!”
Essentially the anti-gear luddite missed the part where to everyone else, this is not a sport. A snapshit pleb is the person with the right idea. The complainer is a pretentious tryhard.

Photogtaphy is infested with more tryhards than cars.

Photography and gear:
>photo snob:
>a real artist only needs iso 50 film and a hasselblad 500cm. BURST shooting? hire a model. ask her to pose. you fucking idiot! even garry winogrand didnt need that, when was the last time you walked the streets? Oh you just go to “work” dont you, fucking rube, soulless machine. photography is an art form, and you are spitting in its face. people should be limited to a leica iii until they have at least one contact in a fashion house or have been in a gallery next to warhol!
>snapshitGOD:
>you’re not a real artist in the first place. learn to paint.

>>4304122
Don't you see the irony in it? The author struggling not to plainly say, "older tech might make you a better photographer, you're probably too distracted by something else" and instead vomiting out a loquacious tldr, "too lazy to calculate exposure" a hurr durr. These opinions have always been gearfaggotry themselves, and identical opinions with the functions, brand names, and equipment sorts ad libbed are found in every hobby that

1: Is male dominated, because men are the rationalizing and combative sex that needs to find solutions independently.

2: Uses equipment, which could mean a guitar, a saxophone, an engine on wheels, or even nutritional supplements. If it is an object that can be acquired and there are different options, the war starts here. Here is where the means are. Here is where people go back to in order to argue about what the goal even is. And here is where people plainly or non-plainly long for a return to simpler times, for reasons that range from a somewhat delusional "you, or i, would be better if it were simpler, that would surely prompt focus and progress in skill!" to a bitter and ignorant "everyone else would be worse than me, or i would be that bad, if i/they had this old school handicap".

3: Becomes popular, which lowers the level of enthusiasm to that of a side gig, second fiddle to the fishing trip's fishing part, creating the big bang moment for all of these arguments.

4: Has a subjective component that is nonetheless made socially objective by pure non-reason (art world), or objective standards that can be arbitrarily chosen and changed (like classes and rules in a sport), prolonging the argument indefinitely by introducing legally movable goalposts.

You can save yourself a lot of grief by rising above equipment and seeing a more abstract situation. Number 3, popularity, is all what actually caused the decline in serious participation. Nothing else really matters. The tech is irrelevant, use what you like.

>>4304187
Also there's a curious thing where they think so and so is a status symbol but only other men in the hobby recognize it. At one point this has social legitimacy, but that dies, and yet long after people forgot how cool a leicagibson1chevy was the men in the hobby continue to believe people care if they have whatever.

If you're even a little more intelligent and aware than average, this part will seem absurd to you, and rarely cross your mind, but for most people around you in the hobby, it will be on their mind almost constantly.
It still boggles my mind when people think others will be impressed that they bought a leica or a nikon zf and that the only reason they aren't being praised and their choice isn't being worshiped is poverty - who the fuck really cares. I know someone who lived with his mom for 3 years. For 2 years he saved $100k for a down payment on a house, but all the money from one of those years bought him a collection of luxury watches and a japanese sportscar. He thinks people really care about this. Not one person outside of forums knows what the fuck half the brands are and he got mad when someone said "rolex? holy shit dude, you bought a $1000 watch!"

Can observational photography even be considered art? You're just there and pressing button.

>>4304189
exactly
people only care about what's real and cool, not what costs money

I flew a $5 squid kite at my school and got a lot of positive attention. If I had paid $200 for some fancy kite that looks plain, it wouldn't matter (just buy that kind of stuff for yourself)

Most people will think an $80 instax is cooler than your $800 Expensocam because it's actually interesting. That's not to say you shouldn't buy the expensocam, just buy it for yourself if you really want it.

>>4304219
is $800 your idea of expensive?

>>4304122
im still looking for what exactly is gearfagging in the article

>>4304238
It's subtle. The article is very long and rambling, touching on several subjects, but it expresses very few ideas that would fit in two sentences.

But you've probably heard the whole thing before in a 4chan post
>You don't need ____ to do that
>git gud
>____ only needed ____ and he's way better than you
>photography sucks now i blame the digital cameras

>>4304123
How 2 get girls to let me photo their tits?

>>4304215
>is it art
Don’t care, I’m just gonna keep snapshitting.

>>4304236
The absolute irony of this post in response to that, amazing.

>>4304250
Based. Me too. Telling my dog to sit or stay somewhere is more artistic than 95% of the poseurs on this site anyways.

he is correct but digital cameras suck

>>4304122
>he now expects cameras of increasing technical sophistication... the actual results...usually remain far below the technical potential.

This is true of everything in consumerism. Boomers demand 4k oled panels then watch shitty 1080p, low bitrate garbage beamed to them by TV providers

People insist on building trucks capable of towing extreme amounts, with lift kits and other modifications for rock crawling despite the fact they will never use it for such.

Because consumerism is not connected to anything other than consuming. If camera manufacturer's released a new camera with the same specs as a previous camera. Despite the fact a large portion of the consumers aren't currently using the camera to it's fullest potential will be upset, not because he is being limited but because he no longer has a reason to consume and without a reason to consume he realizes that he doesn't need to suffer the job that he endures because it pays well. He doesn't need to make the 45 minute daily commute he suffers through. He can no longer justify having missed large portions of his children's childhood. Without consumerism, the very foundations for the modern life are knocked out from under it and people have to face the fact that they are deeply unhappy and have been tricked into living a life they hate. So instead they consume it gives the illusion of progress and a sense of a tangible increase in material standing to justify all the time spent doing meaningless, unfulfilling busy work for 40+ hours a week.

this is funny because it was probably a 4x5 studio boomer complaining about kids and their damn 35mm film cameras

>>4304288
It is pathetically easy to use a camera to its highest potential

Just crop, and expect it to still look good. Or turn the ISO up. Or expect your prints to look sharp close up.

>>4304294
way way, way way back when, people were buying relatively high speed cameras where the shutters went all the way up to 1/1000 (WOW) to take photos of landscapes and posed groups of family members at f/11. nothing else.

these days yeah its piss easy. point a camera at a dog, go to a sports game, be one of the million people who took an easily accessible community college art class online... but back then, they could not google, and the fastest sport was baseball.
