How often do you change profile pics / username (on discord, etc) and why?

So I have this thing where I get bored of what my username is on discord so I just change my username and profile pick every couple of weeks, with a rule that every version of that username containts 3 parts which can be abbreviated to 3 front letters. I kinda test people and see how long it takes them to notice who I am.

So randomness being random, how often do you switch usernames or profile pics on the medias and why

it takes me months/years for me to change my profile pics anywhere lmao i have a :sparkles: brand :sparkles:

It happens via whim.
Seems to occur about once a year.

Or less.

Maybe every change counts as one change. Wow…!

Username [Practically never] however Discord profile pic, once every few months or so.

I change my profile picture as I evolve. Like a Pokemon.

I haven’t change mine for years. My username is still “The covid strike back” and the profile pics is still the picture of my wife and kid

Once in a blue moon.

Practically never. I’ve changed it once from my old PSU profile pic from the month before PC/PS2 servers went down (2010), to just 3 years ago with the Monster Hunter World one I use now. (2021)

Didn’t really have a solidified pfp before- most socials barely used them outside of forums back then.

Barely username. As I find new favorite characters I change my pfps.

I once changed my username from FlamingZelda to FlamingZelda3.

This is because back in 2016 I deleted my gamer email and consolidated all my accounts to another email.

As for pfps… I usually stick with a site’s default until someone says something about it. From then I tend to change it every 3 or 4 years.

On discord I have a furret pfp & I change its expression every few months.

OH! I JUST REMEMBERED SMTH

I used to have my email name set to my youtube account and I was emailing from… “Pokemon Hero Gaming”

thankfully I changed it.

As unfortunate as it is, I have not thought of a better name for myself in over 7 years.

Never. I occasionally might stick a silly title on the end or follow a nickname trend on the discord, but the avatar and actual username have been the same since the day I registered.

The name UltraFenix has been with me since childhood, and even though I’ve had other online names, I don’t intend to change this one anymore. My profile picture depends a lot on my mood that day; I might keep the same picture for months or just for a single day.

Oh, by the way, DAT: don’t worry, I’ll always know who you are, even if you change your name and profile

I never really change names and pfps too. At least on the main social media I use I just go by my real name mixed with another word (an username I’ve had ever since my childhood when I played on my Xbox 360 btw), and I have a pfp of a plasma peashooter from PVZGW.

P.s.: My real name isn’t Alem nor Owl.

I had alot of username changes in the beginning but the one i liked was alex yt because i wanted to be in some guys object show with his friends but then i realised that theres alot of alex yts in the world so i added my object show at that type xg (x’s game) to it.

At first known as vepere which was a name given to me by a school friend, I decided to change it to something like the skill sureshot from Fe8, which then became surehit. I’ve been using this name online ever since. For portraits, I never change unless I’m unhappy with my current one/I updated it.

My current is a ogma archetype oc I made with the portrait maker
