my previous policy had been “no alt text, no boost”

but now, and i can’t believe i have to say this, my policy is “no useful alt text, no boost”

alt text is there to improve accessibility for sight-impaired users. just throwing some bullshit in the alt text field so you can say you did, w/o actually putting in a description that will be of use to anyone, is deeply cynical and i’m not going to reward it

it’s not hard, you fuckers
