it's nice that more and more artists are writing image descriptions, but often they are very vague and aren't actually _alt_ text. like, they aren't viable alternatives to viewing the image.
eg.: "fanart of <character>" is not really telling anything. what style are they drawn in? what is the picture trying to communicate? how are they dressed? facial expression? etc.

@grainloom an artist might add an alternative message in the alt text that's specifically targeted for the blind. Somewhat subversive. Can lose novelty quickly. Would be interesting in a series of works though -- esp. for works where the message of the image isn't translatable into words.
