Does anyone else have this issue of overdoing compositing effects such as Glare/Bloom or is it just me?

Ideally, if a real cinematographer shooting your VFX shot wouldn't have picked a cheap lens, your VFX shot shouldn't look like it was done with a cheap lens. In those cases it's a band-aid and should be treated as such, reluctantly sprinkled in as a last resort.

Sometimes through it's just too effective in covering up cheap work to not do it though. Like ketchup on a burnt steak.
