[RANT] AITA for calling people out on Instagram for using too many filters and that awful blur/focus affect?! - The Athan Zafirov Wine Blog
I follow a bunch of wine-related hashtags on Instagram and get SO IRKED by the amount of filtering and shit that people use, most of the time when they have no idea what they are doing.
But the one that gets me the MOST is the use of focus/blur. You know the one Im talking about, where they focus on the label and the wine in glass, and blur out the top of the bottle, the top portion of the glass, the stem of the glass, but the base of the glass is still in full focus? I just don't know how anyone looks at that picture and goes, 'Ya that looks SWEET! Post!'
I find myself calling people out more and more (in a relatively nice way) cause I think it just looks silly...
And believe me Im one to talk the first 3-4 times I posted photos of bottles here they came out sideways, so the irony in my shit talk is not lost on me...
AITA?
