It’s trendy to post images with heavy compression artifacts. It’s a meta-meme called “deep fried”.
I think it harkens back to old xeroxing or the early web and how images would degrade over time. Artificially adding in jpeg compression and degradation makes the meme “more real” by explicitly reveling in the “copy of a copy of a copy” nature of internet memes.

I know deep fried but this does not look deep fried to me.
