In 2015, images could not be copied and reposted on Instagram without taking
a screenshot and cropping this in the Instagram interface. This
means each reposting of meme-style images introduces unique
artefacts as the image quality is augmented and degraded. It also
allows for customization of the image to a personal preference.
Brian Feldman coined the term "shitpic" to describe this phenomena.
This page collects variations of the "Which am I most like?"
meme. Each row is the "same" image posted by unique users. Images were automatically downloaded by tracking hashtags via Instagram's API during 2015.
