@aardrian@toot.cafe It would be totally awesome if the keyword stuffing thing would die in a fire. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen people recommending automatic alt-filling from SEO (WordPress, it’s always WordPress) plugins as an accessibility remedy, and for that reason alone I’d like to kill this off personally. Obviously I’m not saying keywords used for SEO are never relevant to what the alt attribute is for, but in my experience more often than not the two have nothing to do with each other.

@arush There are relics of the 90s, and SEO folks who use this tactic rely on people with no technical skill, probably using some level of FOMO and FUD to drive it.
