- tsimionescu 3y agoI saw the comment you're talking about, but I'm not sure I understand what it meant. What does a screen reader do other than skipping an image without alt text? Either way, that person was also explicitly saying that they don't want mandatory alt-text, that they believe an option users can toggle on their own account to be reminded about alt-text is better, so I don't think they would qualify as "complaining about missing alt-text".
- jabradoodle 3y agoIt seems they don't want it to be mandatory because people will likely fill it with nonsense, as your already suggesting, which is worse for them than it not being there. I don't know what the screen reader does, presumably tells them there is an image there. I assume they want the option to remove the post all together.
