To my eyes, a lot of photographers are using the Rule of Turds.
Funny anecdote from my dad. He says that when he was a young man working on building sites, they used to brew tea outside of the hut on a fire. And the men would throw a matchstick on top of the tea because they reckoned it stopped the smoke going in the tea. The head was taken off the match. Sounds very strange if you ask me.
