It reminds me a lot of the rage comics area. I wasn’t really a fan of rage comics, but when they took off, people actually made them. They had an idea, they fired up Photoshop and they made a thing and therefore there was some sort of effort put into it. Later on, there were apps, and everyone could just slap together their own rafe comics and flood the market, and 99% was just absolute garbage.
I actually like rage comics (they are still around btw). Having them be accessible isn’t a bad thing. If they aren’t good it is because the maker wasn’t particularly good. Not that they were accessible.
Back in the day I loved seeing what people would do on that other site, /r/photoshopbattles. Lots of good shops from there rattling around in my memes folder.
It was a trend for a while. There were a couple blogs I can’t even remember the name of at this point that did great PS work. the sub you mention really only had like 3 or 4 solid people and everyone else using MS paint.
I miss photoshopped masterpieces like this. Before AI slop…

Is this on lemmy.world? I’m not finding it.
Sorry, it was just wishful thinking. It doesn’t exist yet.
