Honest question, but why do you use so many stock photos to accompany your posts?

edit: by "Honest question" I mean that my intention in asking is genuine curiosity.

Honest answer: When hubski was in infancy we didn't embed images. I started doing it as a way to show to others that they could. The habit just sort of stuck with me. Some of my favorite posts are things like photo essays and other original content. I guess I hope a newer user sees it and thinks, "cool, we can do that here."
