Generic photography advice sounds wise but lacks substance

Summary

None of that advice is wrong; most advice is just too broad, and it becomes useless. The issue with modern photography advice is that it isn't necessarily incorrect, but it tends to be too vague to help someone improve a specific image or solve a real problem. Photography advice often sounds helpful, but it's usually not actionable. A quick glance at an image gives quick advice.
