So tired of people over-editing their art show pieces

I was scrolling through the latest gallery submissions last night and kept seeing pieces where the artist clearly cranked the saturation way too high. It makes the shadows look electric blue and the skin tones turn orange. Why spend hours on a composition just to ruin it with cheap filters? Anyone else notice this trend getting worse lately?

Three local coffee shops near me all use that same Instagram filter now.

Isn't that how all the small places end up looking the same these days?

Three local coffee shops" is not exactly a crisis, is it? I mean, yeah it's kind of annoying when every place looks the same on Instagram, but does it actually matter what filter they use? If the coffee is good, I'll drink it even if they're posting blurry photos from a flip phone. People act like a shared filter is ruining the local scene, but half the customers don't even notice. It's just coffee, man.
