Facebook and Instagram are oversaturating my photos

I make graphics to share on our social media accounts at work. For a while now, I've been exporting jpgs as I always have and now when I share them on Facebook or Instagram they're posted extremely saturated. I haven't messed with any of the settings that I know of. In trying to look into this, i've reset all my preferences and uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Pretty much what the others said. A case of "Your can't beat the system". Web services and social media sites pretty much never can't keep their dirty fingers off your images and in the process of re-compressing and converting the images to optimize them for storage space and bandwidth conservation they'll often just mess with them under wrong assumptions and strip ot metadata liek coor profile info. If you aren't already, you can use "Monitor RGB" as your proof preview and calibrate your monitor to a "dumb" default sRGB profile, but even then there will always be minor deviations and the images look different on every service. You have to accept that limitation. It's simply beyond your control.
