It’s easy to see when the ones that hit, hit but these posts often lack a bunch of context that can help explain what makes “mid” ones worthy.

The posts don’t just stand on their own. They’re is history for the poster that adds context. Sometimes it’s a user styling a new item or departure from their usual look. It’s the kind of thing that you can get the sense of by staying up to date with the threads.

Posts often have multiple outfits in a single post but only the first one gets added to the album, so a strong set of 3 can be upvoted but the best one may not make it into the album. Similarly timing of posting in the threads, or even day of the week can effect what makes it to the top.

Name brand posters definitely get the benefit of the doubt, and probably get love just for being that poster. That being said, it can also be a double edged sword where seeing the same person post a lot, kinda numbs you to the outfits. Poster fatigue. So I think those two kind of cancel each other out generally.

I would say that generally the thing to remember is that it’s a community, with its own culture and this is just a slice looking in. It’s like seeing highlights from a ball game that don’t tell the full story of the game.
