What actually works in photographers subreddits
Photographers will pixel-peep your camera comparisons and reverse-engineer your edit. The brands and creators that succeed share their RAW files, their full edit process, and their gear settings transparently. Vague 'great camera for pros' content gets ignored. Specific 'here is the X100V vs A7C with same scene, same edit' content gets traction.
