There have been a few posts featuring an alt text, which are text descriptions of the image for people with visual impairments.
I’ve just wanted to post an image, lost my description due to a bug (?) in the app I’m using and wonder:
Is there even anybody here who finds use in this?
Obviously this might change if there enough alt texts, but it helps me to judge how much energy to spend on creating them. Please upvote the comment below which indicates your position or add your own.
They are certainly useful for search engines that index images, because then they get to know what is actually happening in the image, allowing people to search for it using keywords.
