Why do some people not change their avatar from the default bomb?

Explain this phenomenon to me?  Don't you want to be an individual?  Don't you want to win the lotto? 
 
Everybody wants to rule the world.

I did it right when I made my account. Maybe some people just don't want to be bothered to do it.

Laziness.

Cuz they don't know how to change.
Cuz they don't want to change.
Cuz they don't care to change.
Cuz they are somehow unable to change.

maybe they're all "i'm not going to conform to your concepts of individuality maaaannnn"

because the default is epic

Maybe they don't care or are too lazy. 

They're non-conformists

First thing I did when I signed up.

Some people are either too lazy to change their avatar or they actually want theirs to stay that way.
<-------- About to change avatars again...

I'm going to assume either, they don't know how. Or they are lazy, and don't feel like finding something.

They can't be arsed?

I think they don't care.

Why do half the people with avatars (which are supposed to be an online extension of yourself in some way, to differentiate you from everyone else) just use a picture of one of the giantbomb team or "popular" internet memes so they all look the same?

I had the default Snake for a chunk of time. It's a fine avatar and not a lot of people use it. I felt the urge to change it after watching the BLLSL live though.

They're too hip and ironic for that garbage. 

I have no idea....I HATE THOSE PEOPLE!!!

I changed mine almost immediately.

oh you sassy rascal! "

Potential Possibilities: 
-Too lazy 
-Don't care 
-Don't know how 
-Want to be recognized for their post style/user name 
-Don't post much in general

" I have no idea....I HATE THOSE PEOPLE!!! "

" maybe they're all "i'm not going to conform to your concepts of individuality maaaannnn" "

" Laziness. "

" I think they don't care. "

Because they know they won't be here longer on the forums than about 10 posts.

 
dont care, dont want to be bothered with it.

I mean the default is pretty cool its  no big deal man

"Default?  Woo hoo!  The two sweetest words in the English language: De-fault!  De-fault!  De-fault!"

Fuck those guys.

un inspired and un creative

To be fair, the default icons and images are pretty frakkin rad.

I don't have a bomb. Do I count?

Simply because they don't give a  F U C K !
 
and also because they are lazy and noobish !

It's gotten SOOOOOOO much better since they made that one of the quests. Of course, whereas last year - whenever there'd be one of those heavy newbie days - we'd get tons of red-iconed people, now we just get a shit-load of quest blog spam. I guess you gotta take the good with the bad.    

I'd guess the most common scenario is that the people that choose not to have a unique avatar are people who don't visit the site often.

I changed mine almost immediately. My best friend didn't change his steam avatar for almost 2 years, and he certainly knew how to change it, I guess he just didn't care or wasn't bothered enough to change it. It strikes me as a little bit odd but I suppose it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

I changed the default avatar right away though it took me awhile to find one that fit well in the box.

" Just changed my avatar, are you HAPPY NOW? "

No, because now it's that fucking smiley face! "

Eh, I've seen some custom avatars that look a Hell of a lot worse than the default one. I'll agree though that it makes it more difficult to match usernames with avatars.

Idunno! they're a bunch of conformist bastards though! i mean not changing the avatar? the nerve of some bastards thinking they better than the rest of us! i think my avatar is pretty smexy to be honest.
