Blame FB, Instagram, et al - they're the ones modifying your image. Take FB for example. You upload a 8MP photo, but FB will resize it to their dimensions and change the color profile of your image leaving you with flat colors. It's just the way it is. You can tweak to their specs with some success. Run a search and you'll find a tutorial.
