Do average photos today all basically stink?

An interesting article. Maybe not for its conclusions, depending on your view, but that someone took the time to at least think about things, something not done much in today's photography.

Let me guess, you are an avid iPhone shooter?


My mother & her mother were avid snapshooters and
gave almost all the photos away though the ones
remaining added up to quite a few. The negatives
(all 5x4 but a few smaller) were tossed without
wrappings into a large communal shoe box that
weight quite a few kilos. Alas, father threw the
box and contents away after mother died and we're
all very ****ed off about it! The negs went back
to the 1910s.

What hope in hell do all those snaps via iPhones
have!?
