Not keeping out of focus or wonky negatives is "throwaway society"??

Of course not.
Although the negatives that you think are "wonky" now may very well reveal hidden value if you work with them later.
It depends on how "wonky" your "wonky" is.
See this thread for an idea of what time and inventiveness can reveal when one is working with a negative that, in this case, might be argued to be slightly over-developed: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/lets-all-print-or-maybe-scan-one-negative-2025.215648/

I have a large collection of "wonky" negatives, where I have found compositions hidden inside. We can learn so much from our wonky negatives.

"Wonky" Negatives - a great idea for a new Photrio print exchange!
