None really, using a stock photo in a blog post is also a stupid idea. Just don't add any image if it isn't needed to get an important point across.

I personally find title images pretty helpful to remember a certain blog post, quickly identify it when I have several of the same blog open as tabs etc.

Of course it can be overdone, but it definitely does add utility for me at least sometimes.
