As an actual ADHD fag, the tickle can still happen it just doesn't last very long / we don't care faster than normal.
Absolutely are a lot of zero-attention-span zoomers that just straight up don't give the slighest shit about photos because of short-format video rotting their brains.
Take photos for yourself, not other people. Why do you care what the masses of sheeple pay attention to anyway? Most people are morons.

Photography was never an art form. It was a novelty. The supposed greats were just rich people who could buy a lot of film and darkroom shit. Back then, pre-google, even knowing how to get an in focus photo of a tree was an uncommon skill and one hour photos/film labs did not exist. Simply reproducing dogshit readymade snapshits using novel and expensive printing processes was sufficient to get into a gallery - easier if the photographer was jewish or jew affiliated, of course. No one wanted to offend any victims just a generation or two removed from the leica freedom train after all (look it up and finally realize why street photography is laden with leicas and judeans).
Now the truth has risen from novelty’s corpse and old sacred cows have been ground into burgers. The true art form is and always was directorial talent. Staging. Creating a narrative, not finding one. Lying with a camera. And most people don’t have it. No, most people don’t even want it. So most photography is finally revealed as just personal memory snapshots and pretentious trash of absolutely zero value (ie: backs of heads, people walking, building corners).
And everyone with the power of the true art form (directorial talent), the true human act of creation and self expression, has gone to video, a medium that is 1000x more lucrative and allows the artist significantly more room to tell a story, and forms of portraiture (including staged documentary photography) usually with a political bent to make a human directed, machine made painting more interesting than it actually is and try and convince the cattle for a second that it’s not entirely made up.
