Seriously, what will it take for people to start using Alt Text for the images they post? I&#39;m sincerely at a loss for an answer. It&#39;s so easy to repost anything. Today I&#39;ve seen a post with an image of an upside-down US flag to make a statement of distress. I get that. I feel the same way. Then what follows in the replies? Other people are posting their images of upside-down US flags. All of these images from the first one onward, are all without Alt Text. These are a good example of posts where the image itself is the post. The image is the statement. Think about this: What if someone sent you an email with no text, just a single image attached? But what if that image was blank, maybe just all white or all gray or something? What would you do? I imagine you might think something&#39;s wrong with the image because there was nothing to see. What did the email sender want to tell you? What did the image contain? Remember there was no accompanying text. Nothing like: &quot;Here&#39;s a pic of my cute cat.&quot; So, you&#39;ll ask them to resend the email and the image. Once again, the image received is blank. Nothing to see. What do you do then? Give up? Complain to the sender? Think the problem is on your side? So, you reply to the sender of the email and say, &quot;Look, I can&#39;t see the image, so tell me what it contains.&quot; And the original email sender writes back, &quot;It&#39;s really too bad you couldn&#39;t see the image. I&#39;ll describe it. It&#39;s a pic of my new kitten. She&#39;s so lovely and has long fluffy brown hair. She&#39;s a rescue cat that we adopted but I think she&#39;s part Maine Coon because she&#39;s large for her age. Gosh, I really wish you could have seen her photo.&quot; You reply: &quot;I wish I could have seen it too. She sounds lovely. Thanks for the description.&quot; </p> <p>Everyone, can you imagine repeating a scenario like this every time you&#39;re posting and reading posts on social media? </p> <p>Please use Alt Text for the images you post.

I&#39;ll describe it. It&#39;s a pic of my new kitten. She&#39;s so lovely and has long fluffy brown hair. She&#39;s a rescue cat that we adopted but I think she&#39;s part Maine Coon because she&#39;s large for her age.
