Personally, I don't like seeing stock images in a lot of posts from the same user. It's okay to use it sometimes but if it's always the case, that's kind of a turn off to me. I mean, the OP can at least edit using the stock image, right?
But well, can't blame them if they don't have good images.
I'm just tired of seeing duplicate images in some posts. 😅
I see it a lot too. And when people post numerous images, it's quite distracting. I notice I end up just losing interest in the text and move on.
Yeah that's another option, but I guess it falls back into the familiarity of just using stock images that we place into those who are new. They don't really grow out of it and there isn't really any encouragement for them to.
