Luckily not to me, but I know of a child that has autism where the parents were blamed by some related anti-vax parents for vaccinating their child.

They don’t want to fix it, they want to blame the victims for “causing it themselves”.

You don’t have to master all the functions of a camera to make art with it, just like noone expects a componist to play every instrument. Or a painter how to make his own colors. Of course it helps, but thats not part of what makes it art.

Also, if editing is 90 percent of the job, would you say thats not part of the art?

And why would the art be less valuable just because you took more pictures than you show? Does a musician publish every piece of melody they have ever created? Does an authornpublish every text?

I’m sorry but that’s a really dumb take discrediting millions of photographers around the world.

Theres more to photography than taking thousand of pictures and just pick the one where you got lucky. Painters often also need many trys to get their art perfect.

You also have to go somewhere to take pictures. Then invest the time to find different angles of the subject. Then select the ones that you like best and edit them.

Theres a massive difference in taking a nice portrait of a real subject vs prompt “engineering” one in two minutes from your smartphone on the toilet.

Of course photography is much more accessible today, but so are most art forms nowadays.

2024 was the release of iOS 17.4, when Apple allowed third party browsers to use their own engine instead of WebKit/Safari as a layer beneath. So it could very well be that Firefox Mobile and Chrome Mobile on iOS don’t get registered as iOS Device in this survey due to their user agent.
