CIRCLE WITH A DOT

I have decent, but aging, vision. I use the alt text more often than not.
I think the use of alt text is another example of where, when we help one group of people, we benefit us all. Like letdowns at kerbs and other things.
I won't boost images w/o alt text, but I gave up lecturing about it years ago. I think new fedizens eventually soak into the culture.
Another handy thing about alt text, is that you can translate it.

That is how I think it should be.
Although, there would still be career vets training them I suppose..

The thing is, people self-select for a job having power over other people.
