    I did surprisingly well with 42.4/50. I feel I have trouble remembering the lightness.

    I am pretty much “low contact” with most social media.

    I would prefer no contact, but since I have too many international friends I feel like removing social media accounts completely is equivalent to losing contact with them.

    So yeah. I am a little bit everywhere. Facebook/Insta for my Asian and American friends, WhatsApp Telegram for Europe, Discord for gamers, and some Signal for those who bother. Most of them are muted anyway.

    Gotta kick the Reddit habit since I only go to AITA anyway.

    And I have my YouTube habits sorta under control with RSS feeds anyway.

    Sorry to hear that! Developing apps for these huge companies are often a pain with all the hoops you have to go through including but not limited to the “automated moderation” you experienced.

    Small businesses ideally should stop depending on these big companies because they could screw you over in a whim. Unfortunately, easier said than done.

    Oh yes, I might actually have the same thing! Do RAWs actually need to be developped physically or are there programs for that? (Might be a dumb question but I assume the fact I am a total noob lol.)

    I know not everybody is like that, but personally I find it difficult to switch my mind to "photo mode" with a phone camera. I just snap things that usually end up not being that great. With an actual camera I take pretty decent pictures and find it easy to think about what pictures I take.

    I don't have a definitive advice here, as a lot of it also comes down to personal preferences. So I am more or less providing my thoughts, but am not drawing a final conclusion.

    Hey thanks for writing despite your hesitation about it not being definite. It was cool to have a pulse and have some more information things I might've missed.

    From your comment, I think I realized two things: I didn't even think about interchangeable lenses + Perhaps the model I was looking at, ZV-1F, didn't bring too much to the table for the price. The decision-making goes on but I'm glad I have more direction!
