Brilliant moves aren't all that brilliant

I am rated 600, I have never gotten a brilliant move in my whole life, even sacrificing a bishop for a passed pawn. I have never found a chance to sacrifice a queen for back-rank mate. Chess.com defined my sacrificing a bishop for a passed pawn as a blunder.
if the engine says so, then it is. Just keep playing and you'll eventually get it

I think some moves are Brilliant because of the way they follow up to put the person in a winning position, but if it was just a random move with no follow up, then it can not be deemed a Brilliant move.

Yeah, this is right. A sacrifice without a follow-up is just a blunder because you lose the piece.
Also, if the follow-up is missed, I don't think the move is brilliant anymore because you missed the follow-up that makes it brilliant.

I have only seen maybe 1 or 2 brilliant moves out of a few thousand games, but i dont analyze that often. It seems to me they could become a little more common. Id also like it to not be limited to ONLY be for sacrafices.
brilliancies are meant to be uncommon. but yeah, positional brilliances - as in moving a piece to a square where it seems VERY bad but is actually the ONLY move in the position to keep the draw or win, etc - would also be nice. those brilliancies may exist, and if they do, positional brilliancies are extremely rare. the odds are very low, but, this entire brilliancies conversation is very compelling and thought-provoking. now it makes me question what a brilliancy even is haha
