@Robert Kingett Honest question: What would you say if your screen reader had to ramble down a profile picture alt-text with over 10,000 characters? With the same limitations as with any other alt-text, e.g. you can't skip back a few words or to the beginning of the sentence, only all the way back to the beginning of the alt-text?
