Question to peole with screen readers about alt text:
Do you want the description in alt text to be what is seen or do you want an interpretation and opinions?
I see people using a hashtag about alt text being an art form and often putting interpretations, opinions and assumptions in there and somehow it irritates me, so I wanted to ask those who actually need the alt text.
please boost for more reach

Okay, that's how I do it as well.
What about an opinionated interpretation?
For example: a picture of an unpopular politician and the alt text includes slurs additional to naming who it is.
(I've even seen this without naming who it is.)
