99% of Aaron David's posts are images without alt-text. He's said that 'he posts too many to be able to tag them' so he just doesn't.
When I see those boosted, it always feels like such a letdown.
Since he doesn't put any text into the post at all, just an image without any text, it's as if it were a post with 0 content for a #ScreenReader user. Like being handed a piece of paper with something cool on it, but you can't see it, thus you can't read it without jumping through hoops at any rate. Or perhaps in return if I handed you a piece of #braille paper with the most profound text on it and expected you to be able to understand it, assuming you're sighted and cannot read braille.
Your lives, do them your way, but I very gently wish people wouldn't share such things. It's not at all inclusive.
