Why is alt text good? Because if images don’t load, your message still gets through instead of looking like whatever this is. What we have here is a failure to communicate. Accessibility helps everyone. It’s also pretty easy. Good luck with the marketing, or something.
An email I just got. There is literally no text, not a single letter. Just a bunch of squares with a question mark showing images didn’t load. Maybe the squares had text. I sure can’t tell.

Homework? For a movie... The whole cinematic universe thing is what's killing movies. I don't want to have to watch 30-50hrs of media to make one movie make sense. MAKE. STAND. ALONE. MOVIES.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

The cemetery where my mom is buried is having an America 250 sale: $250 off a burial plot. I’m not sure if it’s valid past July 4. That’s my personal best (worst?) tale of America 250 crossovers that should not exist. What were they thinking…

Extra points for irony since they included their “play has no limits” tagline after showing that yes, it has some pretty drastic limits. “Owning” something through a platform isn’t ownership, it’s long-term rental. With no refund and no recourse.

Why alt text matters: images don’t always load in email. Your readers will be left with nothing. #accessibility

What does any of that mean, if anything? I recognize most of the words, but it doesn’t seem to mean anything. Either I’m having a stroke or their AI is. “Daypart.” Are they trying to convince the world, or themselves, that any of this makes sense? Because I’m not convinced.
