I consider profile pictures as a way to be more visually appealing, and a way to be recognizable more easily.

Why don’t you have a profile picture?

    Because they are pointless and shouldn’t exist.

    I don’t want random pictures being loaded when I just want to read articles, posts, and comments. This isn’t Facebook or Myspace. I’m not building a profile for people to look at. I’m reading and commenting.

    They put extra burden on servers, apps, and mods. Someone has to be able to remove them if someone starts setting offensive pics like porn.
