How often do you update your STR listing photos?

Just curious if you find it makes a difference updating your photos on a somewhat regular basis or tend to leave the STR photos the same once you have somewhat found a sweet spot?

Thoughts?

In a highly competitive tourist market like New Orleans, I update my photos weekly.  The competition is fierce, so simply rearranging photos, swapping some in and out tells the algorithm that you're an "active" host and you'll be more visible on the platforms.  This is not only my experience, but when you call VRBO or Airbnb customer service, they will tell you the same thing.
