Modern CDs sound amazing, if we leave the loudness wars aside for a moment.&lt;p&gt;I suppose there are two reasons why people use Instagram filters. Firstly, because most phone cameras aren&apos;t very good and the filters distract from the bad picture quality. Secondly, because it&apos;s in fashion, and people just do it because the cool people do.&lt;p&gt;I don&apos;t even understand where you were trying to go with the Facebook/Twitter/Youtube thing. It&apos;s a trivial statement and provides no illumination.&lt;p&gt;24 frames per second with a 180° shutter will always be more engaging than 48 frames per second with a 240° shutter or whatever they use, unless they manage to make the last one look more like the first one and add to it in some way. Like with modern CDs and vinyl.</text><parent_chain><item><author>pud</author><text>Humans like flaws.&lt;p&gt;When CDs first came out, people argued that they sounded &quot;cold,&quot; even though they&apos;re near-perfect recreations of the music that was recorded.

People had the option of buying CD or cassette in the mid-&apos;90s, and they generally preferred CDs. MP3 did the same thing despite similar complaints.</text><parent_chain><item><author>pud</author><text>Humans like flaws.&lt;p&gt;When CDs first came out, people argued that they sounded &quot;cold,&quot; even though they&apos;re near-perfect recreations of the music that was recorded.
