Search engine optimization should not be the goal for anything.

I'm also begging for more subtitles/captions. Even a brief synopsis of the verbal commentary would help me.

Google now also recognizes when this is being done, and penalizes you for keyword stuffing in alt text. Just write good descriptive alt text FOR USERS and it will help with your SEO. Google cares about user experience.
