    @MelissaBearTrix if we're talking about social media, yes. If we're talking about general web surfing, not usually.

      @EricLawton @kagan @uxMark @MelissaBearTrix worst is so-called AI alttext: may be an image of a man in a suit. But for a visually impaired person, in some instances, this may be better than "image", I'd guess.

      @deborahh @EricLawton @kagan @uxMark @MelissaBearTrix
      I often think about two specific gif alt texts i saw. In one image Snoop Dogg was repeatedly hitting a response button in a posh gameshow setting, it got labeled "a man in a chair wears a hat". The other one had Conan the Librarian from UHF lifting a man by his collar with one arm, it was labeled "a man wears gold cuffs"

      So yeah, i try to read before i boost!
