Folks, I don’t know who told you you’re supposed to dump hashtags in your picture #altText.. No, please stop. Alt text is for describing the image content. A jumbled mess of hashtags is not the same thing.

This shit is like the thing I see sometimes with YouTube subtitles where folks dump extra info in the subs that has nothing to do with what is being said. I need the captions for #accessibility, please don’t abuse them for your own purpouses. Similarily don’t dump hashtags in alt texts.

I'm curious whether you find it wrong to provide narration of a speechless video in captions (technically it's captions that have nothing to do with what's being said, but I would guess it doesn't cause the problem you describe IIUC).
