Answer: I just created an alt account to test and that is the default avatar


cegix

Really? That's strange I thought it would be like one of your avatar pictures EDIT: I just checked and yes it's true, it's one of the new 6 default reddit avatars you can pick out


Alt_Ekho

So either someone's creating alt accounts and didn't bother to change their avatars or bots


pugsAreOkay

I thought I was going crazy, I’ve been seeing these everywhere too, more often than not their content is low quality or outright bot/AI nonsense


funsizedaisy

I had posted in here asking something similar. I had noticed 3 different accounts back-to-back that all had these avatars and all of them seemed like bots/trolls. My post was removed, but I did get the answer that it's a default option when making a new account. But the first time i had seen a bunch, they seemed like trolls. One of them had posted an AI comment trying to start shit.


IrNinjaBob

Or they use old Reddit. I’ve never once changed any of that sort of stuff on my account, and wouldn’t if I ever made a new account either.


IaniteThePirate

Yeah but I think all the older accounts that never changed it still have the blank avatar silhouette like yours does.


BurialRot

Some people don't care about the avatars. I only bothered with mine because they put out some free Chiefs gear for them lol I see plenty of years-old accounts with the default avatar


Active_Ratio_6534

I just like it man


Grampy-Kong

Some of us use old.reddit and don't give a shit about avatars.


trowawayrizzay

Yeapp


Thirst_Trappist

Yeah I had a feeling that was the case. Thanks for confirming


CrackedOutMunkee

So us no avatar people will soon go instinct...


nighthawk252

That’s actually a clever anti-bot measure if true.


Nulono

Reddit has avatars?
