By checking first to see if an image has good alt text, you can feel good boosting or sharing, knowing you won't be excluding users from enjoying the post. Reading the alt text tells you what the poster intended the graphic to convey, and gives you some examples to make your own alt text better!

The alt text is right there at the bottom of the image (out of the way) and when there isn't one, you have clear confirmation. It's a great lesson on how bad automatic alt text is.

I find seeing the quality and consistency of alt text from brands to thought leaders incredibly useful. It helps me write better alt text and hold myself accountable. Most importantly this extension exposes have how common it is for alt text to be missing or non-descriptive which drives home how necessary it is for us all to be better advocates for accessibility.
