I've been posting daily on a subreddit for a stupid reason

Confession

Basically, at first I was just posting on this subreddit for fun once a day, and every post there got a lot of upvotes so it was good for my post karma. Then, one day I post at 11:10pm and I wake up the following morning to see it has 2.1K upvotes. Within a few days, it was the most upvoted post of all time on the subreddit. My post had climbed to 7K upvotes while the previous #1 had stayed #1 for a year with 6.9K upvotes. The post has probably 10 posts a day at the very most. Then, not even a week after my post had become the #1, another post had surpassed it (that post is now at 8K upvotes). I thought it was so unfair that the previous #1 got to have that title for a full year while I didn't even get it for a week. So, I've been posting daily. But every fucking time, another post comes up and gets like 24 upvotes in its first 8 minutes before I've even posted my post. Every day since that successful post I had, I've been lucky to break 700 upvotes on a single post. Today's gonna be the day-Another post got 2.4K upvotes. Today's gonna be the-Another post got 3.5K upvotes. Today's gonna-Another post got 2.2K upvotes. And every time I see another post sabotaging me, I feel my blood boil. Its really pathetic, but every time I see another post get attention I become furious at it for sabotaging me.
