Do a sacrifice where if your opponent takes it, they lose
I have been playing chess for one year, but I have only made eight brilliant moves in my career. Brilliant moves require a lot of thinking and are quite difficult to find.
In this case, white scarified his knight (knight eat pawn), If pawn eat knight, queen to h5 to gives a check, black king go to e7 (forced), then bishop go to g5 and gives a check, black king go to d6 (forced), eventually lose a queen.
The best move for black is king go to e7, so white eventually win a pawn.

A move must fit all of the following criteria to be "brilliant":
- It must be the best move possible.
- It must be a sacrifice (not necessarily forced) that has very easy compensation.
- It must be at least somewhat unintuitive (at least to the average player).
- It must look like a blunder (or unnecessary) to someone who has virtually no knowledge of chess.
- It must put your opponent in Zugzwang (or otherwise leave them with no good move).
That's all there is to it.

POV when you get a brilliant move but then it compares your brilliant move with the best move ☠️☠️

Your first 3 criteria look reasonable, but that's not how chess.com uses "brilliant".
What you wrote about zugzwang suggests that you misunderstand that word.
I've gotten like 8 in my chess career and i've been playing for like only 5 years. It's satisfying to get one but really difficult. I recommend analyzing as many games as you can and think! Here's a link to a free game review website if you don't have a membership for chess.com:
Also, here's a position from a game played by Mikhail Tal with two brilliants (he's playing as white)

Anyways... would you rather.... A 100% accuracy or a Brilliant MOVE. UR CHOICE
Just made one today
Sacrificed a knight for a queen and a win
Brilliant moves are hard to find but can change the tide of the game if the opponent is unaware (they usually are).

will a brilliant move make you happy? really? that's what you're after? PATHETIC
you're still after a good move.
Brilliant moves are hard to get, REALLY HARD, and shaming somebody for wanting one is like shaming somebody for taking 90 years to just make a Time Machine.
