@Irisfreundin oh, it looks like ALT4me is not tagged much and no one ever replied to it (I've not checked)...
Are you saying there are supposed to be bot account that do it? (That would be kinda cool.) But then it's not in a good place for practical use?
@Irisfreundin ... I feel no one reads it; so it's only remarkable in it's absence.
Yet it takes me a non-negligable amount of my short energy. And I personally (with ADHD, perhaps) find the "ALT" lettering distracts from enjoying the images. A compromise.
Apparently I've been doing it wrong, too, by using AI for (too?) detailed visual descriptions (and species identification).
Would 3x "pretty flower(s)" ALT be directly appreciated by anyone at all?

@Irisfreundin - thanks for the link. Friendly discussion:
So maybe I should have handed this off with #ALT4me? Interesting, on screen reader emoji & camel case interaction....
But I didn't spot a good "why", for this case. Unless one is looking to maximise reach, by (as you basically say) virtue signalling to *sighted* users.
Do you know (or are you) visually impaired? I feel I've posted more ALT than body text, across thousands of pics, this last year. But zero feedback on any of it...

@Irisfreundin Thanks for noticing. I was very tired and in a rush. They are all plain daffodils, per the body text, so I wasn't sure what value ALT would add for anyone..?
The whole point of these photots is visual enjoyment, no real information content. Do you think anyone is likely to benefit from added ALT in this kind of case? (For my future reference.)

Sun's finally been out, and so are the daffodils, everywhere!

Maybe we're past the perma-wet blooms of Monday...
- Netted/Winter Iris, is a new on on me (in a grass verge). Totally reminded my of Alice in Wonderland: Madame Iris!
