Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?
-
In comment sections or in community pages, it's mostly an ocean of default avatars.
As a UI developer, that's always been a gripe because I put a lot of effort into making them look good and scale properly, etc. When I see 60-70% or more accounts sporting the default avatar, it makes me wonder why I even bother.
So, since this bugs me so much, figured I'd just ask.
Lemm.ee users I can understand because of the waiting period for uploads, but AFAIK, most instances don't have that restriction. Even then, there are plenty of
.eeaccounts that never bother to go back and set one.My reader doesn't even show avatars

Mine's a picture of a cow. Just sayin'.
It's a lovely cow.

I don't see avatars in my app and I don't really care to. Never had them in early reddit and that's what I'm trying to replicate.
I wanted to say the same, but then I saw the avatar next to your name and realized that I do in fact see avatars. I just never noticed and still don't care.

Relatable.
Comedy gold right there.

Maybe it's just that Sync is an outdated mess, but I can't even see your profile pic. I can see others, just not yours.
It's just flickering static. You're not missing out.

On Reddit, it changed to something semi-unique and, even though I never changed it, I somehow identified with it.
That's what Tesseract does; pseudorandom avatars based on the actor ID if the profile hasn't set one. But those are just local, though.
Lol, here's what it generates for yours:
Thx I hate it!

Because I don't care about it and it makes no difference. They only show in your profile and I don't look at my profile. The only people that do look at your profile are the people going there to try and find something to use against you.
I'm a creep I click profiles of cute people to see if they have more cute pics

So I went into my profile out of curiosity - even though I already had "Show Avatars" checked, I've never seen a user's avatar on here before. I did upload one for my own profile though for the hell of it.

I already ignored names and was weirded out by "popular redditors" culture before avatars, and it was annoying to see a logo next to a name coloring my perception of the comment. I'm here to read comments, not to look at avatars

That's me under my Performance Designs Spectre 150, circa 1997 or 98... Can't remember as I've slept since then.

It does explain why nobody has called out my avatar being AI generated when I talk shit about how shitty AI is (I generated it back when this shit was new and didn't know how crap it actually was yet).
Your avatar doesn't look ai generated actually.
