I would call it a well developed survival instinct.
The feeling of being skeeved out is the symptom of tryptophobia, isn’t it?
You might have it, at least a little bit.

Do people use those for iphones often? Or ever, even?

Really heavy duty tripods tend to be used by
televison and movie crews; to support the camera
nature photogrophers: to support the lens
professional product photographers-- to hold their 200 Megapixel hasselblad so that it doen’t shake when it interpolates.

The triple lenses are laughable and it just goes to show the questionable positioning of any iDodad as a tool for serious ‘film making’.
If you don’t have good glass, then GTFO.
I recall one camera operator rolling his lens wheel a split second before Oswald was shot - could have missed the shot. Stay wide, use a large memory card and Pre-Rec.

but you can only use it with linhof tripods.
I was mulling this over today, and what the Politics season of American Horror was trying to say by including it as a phobia of one character.
And I wonder if it wasn’t in part really about how much more everyone is worked up over politics because everyone on the internet tells them they should be.
(It is a perspective anyways, not that I agree necessarily…)
Tim Cook is clearly just gunning for Tom Clancy this time.
I’d never heard of this “fear of holes” thing … but in all honesty that image in the original post creeps me our. And yet I can’t articulate why. I don’t know if it is relevant but I scare easily … to the point that I can’t watch horror films.
Nah, there’s just one @beschizza shoop with your name on it for everyone.

I discovered trypophobia a long time ago, when I came across the common Suriname toad (Pipa pipa), although at the time I had no word for either.
I had touched a lion, swam with sharks. On purpose. I’m dumb and not easily scared.
Looking at those frogs, or even their image, fills me with unreasonably intense disgust, triggering flight.
There was no word for ‘internet’ yet.
But of course you are right, there’s a lot of emulation among the great apes.

Or maybe in ages before social services people overcame moderate discomfort since the alternative was starving.
Is this really a phobia in the same way say, arachnophobia is? Does it impact people’s lives? Or just people are getting squicked out by a phone?
The lack of a headphone port is the real disturbing aspect imho.
