What if these people have a genetic defect and can only see in orange and teal?
I understand at a primordial level orange and teal (golden hour & blue hour) have enchanted the landscape for the past 100'000 years of our existence. How our monkey brethren and forbearers gasped at the sight of the savannah as the sun lit up bush and shrubs as well as predators that might lay hiding in them.
Could it be that these photographers and editors aren't doing this purposefully?

Considering that haircut, it's more likely that kind of person is just completely lacking in taste.

If your photo is good you don't need to colour grade it. In fact an impressive photo will look more impressive if the colours are realistic. Colour grading does help spice up boring photos though.

Yeah, it sucks. But I modify small blotches of disharmonious colours.

I think one should always go for accuracy, don't misrepresent reality. This teal and orange trend is so overused it only shows the photographer being pretentious.

Why is digital photography so infested with these hypebeast gearfags...

to balance out the hypebeast filmtards that think overpaying for a ww1 era camera and overexposing portra and underexposing tri-x in a big city magically turns them into an artist, instead of a faux-bohemian nuisance harassing pedestrians
and also, because they are paid to shill. every digital camera body/lens centric video you have ever seen was a paid ad. they have so much gear because select influencers get to keep it if they suck the company's dick and do their best to make the competition look/sound worse. the filmfags aren't so they have no excuse.

True, there are a bunch of filmtards who also fit the mold; but in the filmtards defense, I think that those of them who aren't hypebeasts and actually take good photos, take overall more interesting photos than most of the digital photographers I see

Most film photographers even the ones outside of that take horribly boring and derivative, "safe" photos as they treasure each and every frame. Lots of perfectly framed building corners, cats, generic "pretty woman = good photo" slop, street signs, city scapes, and sakura tree branches. And still they fall victim to pretentious nonsense because who do they look up to? The postmodern art establishment. If you look at r/fujifilm it's the same stuff as film photographers because it's the same crowd really. That's really why fujis film sims pass. Not because of any tech or color science. On their own they dont look like film. But because film photography has been heavily associated with the "i actually went to school for photography" NPC look.
Digital photography is, in general, better looking and more creative, and does not select as severely for postmodernists AKA npcs.

They hate him because he tells the truth
Film photography is played out and artistically irrelevant. History will remember todays film photographers worse than it remembers the jazz scene of the 90s.

We see different film photographers in that case. I agree that there are a lot of film photographers who take unbearably generic photos, but at least in my opinion I see a significant amount of interesting work, more than I see coming from most digital photographers.
There are some absolutely fantastic digital photographers though I will say.

Yes, film photography is typically lower quality. It’s a pretender’s medium. Originally it was just what everyone shot because a digital camera that wasn’t worse than film was $3000 and the computer that could process a raw half as well as an enlarger can process a negative was also $3000. When $3000 was worth 1.5x more than it is today.
