That is NOT questioning an assumption. He seems to imply that blind users have no use for an information that is interesting to other people.
- DisposaBoy 16y agoOr may it's an honest question. May he's just skeptical(I am) and really wants to know. After-all there are no stupid questions, only stupid people, right?
- pornel 16y agoIs it interesting? Would you be interested in description of image representing video if you could get description of the actual video? — I watched a funny video! — Cool! What was on the poster image?
- jhuckestein 16y agoThe OP of the issue decides on which movies to watch based on the poster image's alt description. Movies can also be watched online. Poster images for videos are also part of journalistic publications, where the poster also works as a still image and conveys meaning or illustrates a point of the story.
- pornel 16y agoYou're describing a real movie poster, which is a different thing from HTML5 poster frame: > The image given by the poster attribute, the poster frame, is intended to be a representative frame of the video (typically one of the first non-blank frames) that gives the user an idea of what the video is like.
