Social media effect, the odds are not in your favour. Comparing your random pictures to the best pictures of thousands of other people combined into one entity.
Mathematically, you shouldn't be able to randomly happen accross even one picture that compares, let alone is better than any one of the top rated posts on a social media site.
Having said that, pictures of a cat you care about automatically get bonus points to you and you'll like your pictures way more than what are effectively the equivalent of super model cats you don't have any investment in.
K?
My apologies, I took your post as though you were being serious. Wanted to explain that you shouldn't feel bad and why.
Maybe your answer was not needed here but it is a very important one nonetheless! Especially when people compare themselves to the internet!
No worries lol, I just got very strong r/iamverysmart vibes. Thank you for the info! The meme is really just to make fun of the cat, which tends to be my day job
