@WeirdWriter It is also a huge misinterpretation of the original article. It is denouncing performative access, which is actually mainly about the sighted people feeling good about themselves and ticking the "access" box, rather than actually communicating to their audience. If anything, the next few paragraphs after the quote are about how image descriptions should be used.
I understand this article similar to when I say that I don't want wheelchair accessibility if it means getting into a building through the garbage room: it isn't a call to keep steps everywhere.

I know blind people that willingly don't describe their images on Facebook.
