Okay, I'll bite. What's that wacky effect all over the photo? (in before lens flare)
I've never seen the effect before, but I don't like silly effects like that. If you're going to post a photo, post a photo.
By consensus, it is apparently the "cat hair" filter.
I got into a discussion about that one time, in response to a remark I'd made about Instagram pictures and how no one seems to post "real" photos anymore; they're always these little squares with some effect on them to make them look like bad scans of 40-year-old Polaroids or something. She said that all these effects have brought back some of the fun and given the photographer something "artsy" to work with.
I guess with digital photography (that is, without the somewhat limiting factor of the cost of film), you can now take so many pictures that it gets boring. So you put lame effects on the pictures and publish a bunch of little 4-inch squares that look like old scans, because that's more artsy and fun for the photographer. Never mind that it looks stupid and ruins otherwise perfectly good photographs.
