    I’ve never seen a good answer to this in accessibility guides, would you mind making a recommendation? Is there any preferred alt text for something like:

    • “clarification image with an arrow pointing at object”
    • “Picture of a butt selfie, it’s completely black”
    • “Picture of a table with nothing on it”
    • “example of lens flare shown from camera”
    • “N/A” dangerous

    Sometimes an image is clearly only useful as a visual aid, I feel like “” (exluding it) makes people feel like they are missing the joke. But given it’s an accessibility tool; unneeded details may waste your time.
