My philosophy is that stock photos are bad when you could be using that space to visually give visitors information about your product/site/organization/whatever. I work on software for apartment communities, and a huge offender I see is stock photos of smiling people being used on property websites. Do you want to see fake people on an apartment website? No, you want to see photos of the actual property.
