   I realize that what I'm about to say probably comes across as extremely bitchy, but.... People who write half ass alt text really annoy me. For example, if you are posting a meme, or an infographic and in the alt text field you just write Infographic or meme on xyz topic, you aren't.... actually doing alt text. It's more like performative alt text. You should describe what is happening, transcribe the text if any, and include things which clarify the point. OK I'm done being grumpy for now! 💩😈

     Yep. Some alt text is so bad - "cat" or "screenshot" - that I'd call it malicious compliance.
