The world of photography has some pretty nasty and terrible trolls. You probably don’t realize that you are one.
Photography has trolls and they’re awful: they really are. When you go into any sort of forum or look at images online, there is bound to be someone that speaks in a pedantic way about how terrible other photographers are. In some cases, you’ll even see this in real life as you go into events and groups. Others are just judgmental. When it comes to a contest or anything ike that, it’s fine within reason and with a professional critique. But trolling is far worse; it’s just a means to spew negativity into the world to get a quick thill and because your life is useless and meaningless.
