Blind person here, I definitely agree. Decorational images aren't important, so use empty alt texts or aria hide them. Most images should have short, to the point descriptions, containing the information you need to fully enjoy a given article. When writing a good alt description, think about why the image is there and why does it matter, not only about what it shows. There could be two articles with the same image, but completely different alt descriptions. If your article is talking about how pretty graphs produced by a given tool are, describe what kinds of data the graphs contain and how they look like. For example, "A screen with three graphs, showing a company's stock prices across the last month, year and decade. There are points for the highest and lowest values marked on each graph. There are also average prices displayed". It doesn't matter what company it is, or what the actual values are. If your article talks about how tech companies did during the coronavirus pandemic, that same image would be described like "the stock price of x was $100 on march 20th, fell to $5 on march 21st, then slowly started rising, ending back at $95 on june 3rd". Same image, completely different information highlighted. Sometimes you need very detailed and complete alt descriptions, particularly when you're describing diagrams showing complex relationships, function graphs and so on.No, "screenshot" is definitely not a good alt when you're trying to show what kind of output a given command is expected to produce. Yes, you should painstakingly retype the text (assuming you can't copypaste for some reason), or at least put it through OCR.
