VSCO
We've all had a tricky relationship with filters. One day it was cool, the next it was tacky, and then it's back to being cool; it's been a cycle. But VSCO definitely changed the game when it entered the arena. Filters became more of personal preference and maybe more so a part of one's 'feed identity' and it changed how you can modify filters to suit a uniform aesthetic that fits your fancy. And unlike other apps where you get a bunch of basic but horrendous filters to choose from and have to actually do in-app purchasing to get decent ones, buying VSCOs alternative presets is down to your own choice as they offer free yet perfectly fine filters on the get-go.
