Why all of sudden cameras , especially the mediocre crappy budget cameras from the 2000s & 2010s have become popular again. I’m seeing my Instagram and YouTube feed being flooded with reels and shorts about ‘this 20 usd camera takes film like photos’.

So what’s next , Nokia era phone cameras being popular again.

    Content creators are pandering to their target audience - people under 21 who don’t know what it’s like to have evolved the amount we have.

    Sounds like it’s working.

    Doesn’t mean it’s cool or good - but it doesn’t have to be. It just has to get the views they so desperately crave.

    Lots of people want to watch a video they feel like they could afford to try themselves. Sure they wont actually do it, but it releases more dopamine than watching someone take a good photo with a $10k set up.

    Same reason we buy old record players. Nostalgia. If I could buy a gramophone, I would.
