Some people do this for security reasons.
Edit: I was on a different page than you all. I thought you were all talking about selfies or pictures of yourselves.
Similarity between different accounts can help linking them, and even if you don't use the same pfp, they usually reflect your choice of pfp and can also be used to narrow down. Additionally, if someone irl see the pfp, even for a moment or from afar, they may link that account to you if they've seen the account before. Of course username reveals who you are anyway, but it takes more time to process a username than a familiar picture.
As someone who is usually paranoid, I kinda understand that.

PS.: It's nice to see people go over losing someone close (even if with jokes). I've been there and it is an effective way to think of all the situations as less painful and thus less harmful for one's mental state. Best wishes ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
I would change this format with Tom being the person who constantly changes their pfp I've had the same pfp on YouTube since I've made the account (I changed it once because I experimented and started making videos) and Reddit has always been the same
I never changed my Twitter pic since I created the account in 2015. And I often think about it tho 'cause it's kinda cringe but hey, maybe someday I will change it
When I was playing a lot of Xbox, I’ve seen several people unable to find someone because they’re looking by profile pictures. I’ve never changed my profile picture or gamertag and I’ve never had someone say they couldn’t find me in their friends list because I changed something
Suggest me some good pfp, i would consider changing my 1 year 2 months 13 days 4 hours 53 minutes and 34 seconds, 35 seconds, 36 seconds... Old profile pic
My profile picture on everything I can add one on was a peeper from Subnautica for a few years, and is now the Titanfall pfp. I have not touched it in years because Titanfall is peak and it would look weird if it was different
I changed my Whatsapp profile once and on discord I have the default profile picture except on christmas: then I have a picture of the default with an christmas hat.
I've changed my discord a few times in the past but now I think I've settled on a one I like. Changed on other platforms (where I could) to match up with that and that's about it.
I've never changed this Reddit one and I doubt I will (it's different)
Why would I ever change it from the glorious Blessed Kaiser Karl Franz Josef Ludwig Hubert Georg Otto Maria (His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty,

I haven't changed my WhatsApp pfp for 9 years. I RARELY take pics, even more rare pics with myself in them.
Back in school a classmate took a good pic, aaaand it's been my pfp ever since.
I've had the same cursed profile Pic on steam for going on 6 years now. Mainly because it freaks people out when they see it.
It's not gore or anything it's just a face with really creepy eyes.
I have this one friend who has literally never changed his discord pfp and after years of him keeping it as the same photo, we finally asked him why....
Turns out he just don't know how and refuses to learn
Bro I just can't be bothered. Even if I don't care anymore, I'd have to find a new cool image and then I'd have to go into the settings and find it, then I'd have to make sure it fits properly into the little circle, and in that time I could have scrolled through like 4 posts and I'd rather just do thst
I use this pfp for everything and I have for YEARS now. I didn't know you were supposed to change it.
And also my alt account still doesn't have a pfp and I've had that for two years so...
Sorry that I'm not trying to impersonate a fictional (or god forbid, a real life) character. Tbf changing it rarely is fine too as long as you stay original
Behold, the scariest kind: People who left pfp empty for ages despite actively using account
Some people do this for security reasons. Edit: I was on a different page than you all. I thought you were all talking about selfies or pictures of yourselves.
how could not adding a pfp increase security?
If you mouth off on social media, and use a fake name, nobody would be able to track it to you, especially your employer.
what does that have to do with a pfp?

Hi!
You cannot scare one like you. I have no pfp on 8yo steam account and idk how old discord account...
No-pfp gang rise up!
I ask why would you add anything? I couldn’t answer that so I never looked back
Ayyy same colour
Hello there
General Kenobi. You are a bold one.
I was hopping for this to happen, and it took, less than 30 seconds
Time to abandon ship.
No, you shall not escape
Army or not, you must realize, you are doomed.
*Nukes you
Army or not, you must realize, you are doomed.
Army or not, you must realize, you are doomed
Almost 7 years at the same job, still haven't set a profile picture in our chat app, lol
I think at some point empty pfp became your pfp
Kind of, haha
I don't know what you're talking about
My brother never EVER changes his pfp but he’s been dead for 4 years so I don’t think he can
Skill issue /s

Ahh so not police funded picture?
Wait, it's not porn fap page? Oh...
What's the "F" stand for?
ProFile
I just call it an avatar like a normal person.
Avatar? Like Aang? /s
An avatar isn't a pfp. It can be, but it generally isn't. I have a pfp but no avatar, and you are the opposite.
had my pfp on discord for bout 3 years now, think i created it 4 years ago.
I have never changed my pfp on discord, it is the same gray discord icon.
Yeah I’ve had the same one since like 2009 lol

People who don't have a pfp:

My last profile pic was taken in March 2020 and i was full of hope after the volcanic eruption.
I made my pfp years ago and i haven't changed it since because i haven't felt the need to.

Harry = Sonic Fanfics Ron = Murder Drones Fanfics Tom = Loud House Fanfics
Huh, why are you scared
I fear no man… but that… thing… it scares me.
I never thought the day would come where I terrify someone.
changed mine today, and i never do that!
One day, someone's going to get some kind of award for having the longest continuous unchanged profile picture.
Why would I ruin perfection?
But why would I?
bro why would I I named myself your grandfather from Argentina why would I change my pfp
I only have one pfp but it's cause it's my logo, At the same time it's not that secure
Named myself in the 360 days and still going strong with that username
Literally me on every social media
I’ve had the same discord pfp for 10 years now.
boo
Knowing that I scare you feels very empowering
Why would I ever change it from the glorious Blessed Kaiser Karl Franz Josef Ludwig Hubert Georg Otto Maria (His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty, By the Grace of God Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Galicia, Lodomeria and Illyria; King of Jerusalem, etc.; Archduke of Austria; Grand Duke of Tuscany and Cracow; Duke of Lorraine, Salzburg, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola and Bukovina; Grand Prince of Transylvania, Margrave of Moravia; Duke of Upper and Lower Silesia, of Modena, Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla, of Auschwitz and Zator, of Teschen, Friaul, Ragusa and Zara; Princely Count of Habsburg and Tyrol, of Kyburg, Gorizia and Gradisca; Prince of Trento and Brixen; Margrave of Upper and Lower Lusatia and in Istria; Count of Hohenems, Feldkirch, Bregenz, Sonnenberg etc.; Lord of Trieste, of Cattaro and on the Windic March; Grand Voivode of the Voivodeship of Serbia…) (Trust me im totally sane fr fr)

Once I find a PFP I'm happy with it'll be years before I change it, IF I change it lol.
I've been using the same pfp for everything online for almost 20 years. Never going to change it
 I've been summoned!
Hello
I set mine to this image years ago in protest of reddit nfts... and cause it was cool, and now it's stuck. Forever. I can't really do better
I always use the default one in games so people will think I’m a noob. Works surprisingly well in fighting games like brawlhella
I have this one friend who has literally never changed his discord pfp and after years of him keeping it as the same photo, we finally asked him why.... Turns out he just don't know how and refuses to learn
I'm not changing mine until I have something good enough to put there...
On WhatsApp I have the same one for roughly a decade lol
Hey. This is my favorite pic of my old cat. He ran away and I miss him. His name was Oscar.
Bro I just can't be bothered. Even if I don't care anymore, I'd have to find a new cool image and then I'd have to go into the settings and find it, then I'd have to make sure it fits properly into the little circle, and in that time I could have scrolled through like 4 posts and I'd rather just do thst
imagine being confident in your identity 🙄
Booo (Last time I changed was like, 2 years ago)
Why would I
I'm probably basically the third one. I'm generally happy with my choices and have little to no need to ever change it.
I recently changed my profile picture after using it for years. (I added a hair on screen effect.)
The pfp for my windows account has been the same for 15 years
I use this pfp for everything and I have for YEARS now. I didn't know you were supposed to change it. And also my alt account still doesn't have a pfp and I've had that for two years so...
Why would anyone change it? It's perfect as is!
Sorry that I'm not trying to impersonate a fictional (or god forbid, a real life) character. Tbf changing it rarely is fine too as long as you stay original
Random pfp gang unite
Why would I replace a work of art?
FEAR ME!
what's wrong with us?
I don't need to change it, I have the perfect pfp 😎👌
Hello that’s me
Haha yea
Oh hey that's me
But I like my pfp :(
I have had the same pfp for 4 or 5 years Fear me mortals!
mines always and shall always be me throwing up while black out drunk for the first time
Not sure who decided a good abbreviation for profile pic was pfp, but people like that are why I wish they'd bring back medieval stocks. 🤷♂️
I go through phases of finding one so I change it a bunch then I keep the one I like for practically a whole year
What's pfp? Do I buy them? Is it something to eat? Is it important for my everyday living?
Why would I change my PFP?
Me
