I am by no means an expert, so can´t answer this question. Just noticed that I see more and more posts here without it at all. And with people fundraising from Gaza, it´s very understandable. But with most poems, it would help immensely.
DELETE AFTER READING: Okay, have no idea how to mass adoption of it, but there should probably be a code to signify that the alt text isn’t real. Like, I don’t know, if we include a sign emoji, that warns that the image is actually someone holding signs?
You’re going to be getting more of it. I’m not sure if you’ve read/heard, but people are lying in the #altText in order to bypass AI censors to distribute information in the US. Don’t know how widespread this behaviour will get, but they are trying to communicate mass arrests (primarily ICE for now)
Thus far, they are saying things like “look at these adorable WINTER boots,” but the visual is ICE mass arrests in Kentucky. Or claiming to be showing art, but it’s really someone holding a sign.
I’m betting it will happen more if the military gets involved.
And capital letters at the beginning of each word, when using # allows the hashtag to read out properly. Little things that make a big difference to lot's of people.
