Lazy Unfun Talentless.
LUT's have a use for sure, if you created them yourself to speed up your workflow and for YOUR style then fair enough, buying other peoples however is just throwing money away and doing yourself a disservice. The editing of the picture is the other 50% of the creative process after taking the picture, to throw someones preset onto YOUR work is just lazy.
I would tend to agree unless you are using luts or presets as part of your own learning process. It can be extremely helpful to see how somebody uses curves, hue, saturation, etc to achieve a certain look, especially if you are new to editing and it's overwhelming.
