LinkedIn used to constantly harass me with popups asking me why I hadn't uploaded a photo. Guess I'd have felt a lot worse if the answer was "because I'm insecure about my appearance" or "because experience tells me some people have issues with my ethnicity" or "because I did upload a photo once, and then realised that the people who looked at my profile also looked at other profiles of people in completely different roles who had similar facial features to me and found it really creepy" and not simply that I didn't want to.
- Ekaros 6y agoBit of the first box. A lot of not wanting to. My facebook photo is from over 15 years ago with sunglasses... And generally I have come to conclusion that I do not want my photo to be shared online. I'm just old fashioned that way.
- notahacker 6y agoMy Facebook photo is from when I signed up, at a time when I needed a university email address to do so, but I'm quite happy sticking other photos on there. As for LinkedIn, mostly I just don't care whether clients know what I look like, but I think the repeated surveys got some ruder answers!
