This is dumb and I know it shouldn't bug me, but it does..

When someone takes a similar photo as me, but it's not nearly as good, and it gets more appreciation than mine.

I do filming location photography, and there's a while group of us in IG that do the same. I take time to get nice clear high res screenshots and will meticulously line up my shot to perfectly match the scene from the movie/show, edit it for color and lighting and make the whole thing look real nice to compare the 2 and I'll get maybe 50 likes on IG or reddit.

Then one of the others makes a post where their "screenshot" is just an out of focus picture of their tv and their comparrison shot is clearly trying to match the angle but it's off pretty bad, not editing is done, it's just a poorly lit cell phone snap, and they get 300 likes.

Again, I know it shouldn't matter and in the end it really doesn't, I do this hobby for me, but it also kinda sucks putting in all this effort just for people to appreciate a pic that barely has effort put into it

Working more days and having more work to do? Unless you are getting a billion dollar raise, that's a hard pass
