When we create a profile, we upload our avatar. Some people just don't do this and are left with "stubs" instead of an avatar.
There is a solution to get rid of this concern once and for all. Supporters of avatars have more than one "portrait" in their collection. It can be difficult here too - which avatar to choose? A user with a "white square" or a random picture (because the authors of the site can impose their own version of the avatar, and who knows what will be there) instead of a full-fledged avatar is perceived differently than other participants, say, who left their comments. One gets the feeling that this is an anonymous user (or bot) and his opinion is not important, although the person may have a decent reputation.
To prevent your comments from being faceless and to make your interlocutor take you more seriously, it's worth creating a universal avatar.
Avatar, avataralso username (A user picture is a small static or animated image (often limited in size to a certain number of pixels), usually not a true photo of the user. It is usually edited (displayed) in personal settings of communication programs (e.g., messengers), profile of a registered user on a forum, chat room, website, portal, blog, social network, etc. It can be either a photo or a picture. It is used to personalize the user. As a sign can carry one or more functions, reflect any character traits of the user and help to create the most correct first impression of the interlocutor.

Gravatar, or a globally recognizable avatar, is simply an image that follows you from site to site, always next to your name when you do something.
Among other things, you can select an avatar for a specific rating:
- G - Suitable for all audiences
- PG - May contain offensive elements, usually for audiences over 13 years of age
- R - Designed for adult audiences over 17 years of age
- X - For an even more mature audience
After you register and add your photo to the Gravatar service, your photo will automatically appear on all those blogs where you have ever left comments. If you need to change your picture, you should go to your profile at gravatar.com and change the image. After you change the image, it will automatically change on all sites where comments have been left. It's all very simple and wildly convenient. Plus, you can define a specific picture to a specific email address.
