I can't take another photo of a brick wall or an underexposed flower shot looking straight down. I can't watch another video of someone talking for 20 minutes only to share some uninteresting handheld photos of trash cans and bus stops to show me how great or terrible a lens is.

Yes, it is true. Most people who focus on lens reviews and equipment aren't very good photographers. My newest pet peeve are these instagram reels (videos) of people showing their camera, then videoing themselves focusing their cameras through the LCD and then showing the results...which are always bad. It seems people are not interested in just doing photography. They are interested in showing they are a photographer instead.  Beware of self proclaimed experts on social media.

The reality is, the entire Fujifilm lineup is actually pretty good.

I agree completely.
