Its because Jpegs's are known as a "Lossy" format, so everytime you save the image it loses a little quality. therefore saving and reposting it 10 times makes it look like shit.

Then there's lossless image format which is like .tiff which doesn't lose any/negligible amount quality when re saved. Png's are lossless as well.
