Everyone on here rates JPEGs.
IRL nobody sees a JPEG. They see your face in motion 24/7. Blink pattern, eye contact, facial tension, smile, head movement, micro-expressions. That's what your brain actually judges.
You can have Chad-tier bones and still descend if your face moves like an NPC. Dead eyes, autistic stare, awkward blinking, stiff expressions and a face that always looks tense will nuke your perceived PSL.
Mfs will spend years chasing +1 mm of ramus while completely ignoring the fact they look glitched the second they start talking.
Lowkey brutal if you're neurodivergent too. A lot of us naturally struggle with eye contact, facial expressiveness and facial tension, so you're taking a hidden L that static ratings will never pick up.
Bones are the hardware. Facial dynamism is the software. Hardware alone doesn't win if the software is cooked.
