Let’s be honest, it feels pretty damn good when your Instagram explodes after you post a pic, and there’s nothing wrong with having a humble brag and chasing those likes. Thanks to science we now know the easiest way to get there!

Clarendon is officially the most used filter worldwide. Probably because it’s second on the list and we get lazy, but it’s more likely because it’s universally flattering for a selfie. After that though, Insta users branched out and started using Juno, Valencia or Gingham.
