In the early 2000s, digital photography transitioned from being an “experimental” process to the new normal for photographers, with very few professionals opting for the film and darkroom that was once the standard. This change has led many more people to take up photography as a hobby. It has also been very detrimental for photography overall, and it has hurt photographers.

Before the advent of digital photography, each wasted shot was wasted film. Because of this, photographers had to be very selective in choosing their shots. Today, the digital photographer can take the “machine gun” approach of taking as many shots as they desire, deleting the ones that aren’t perfect. Post-processing technology even allows photographers to remove objects from their shots. This destroys the pursuit of the perfect shot that was once the hallmark of the truly talented photographer.

“This change has led many more people to take up photography as a hobby.”

Reason: that statement is neutral (or even positive) and does not directly support the claim that digital photography has been detrimental or hurt professional photographers, whereas the other sentences describe ways digital tech undermines the traditional skill/standards.
