alt Hacker NewsI know you have a whole narrative going but there's gotta be millions of "make my picture look analog" filters, that was the whole premise of Instagram, you can get specific effects for pictures to look like all kinds of specific cameras, so mentioning VHS like esthetics as something that doesn't exist is very strange.

An instagram filter is to a 3D lut as a PB&J sandwich is to a Michelin star meal...
Let alone the other things listed.

But that was a fad with the purpose of tentatively hiding the poor quality of the photos taken using smartphones of that era.
Nowadays default filtering is that everybody crank saturation and vibrance way too high so that it looks good when looked on a small screen full of fingerprints and a scratched screen protectors, under the sunlight. Same way music is dynamically overcompressed because the baseline is it need to still sound half decent on hostile noisy environments with crappy speakers/headphone.
