One of the most flagrant examples of this I've ever seen was this dude who wrote his thesis about the creative use of sampled materials in the public sphere, like old songs etc. that are technically still copyrighted but the original artists are dead etc. The person reading it was like: "So you are proposing that people use sampled materials in their creative work, sometimes from technically still copyrighted works?"
His reaction: "READ MY BLOODY THESIS, DID YOU 🤬"Please, just. Please the words, read them

@sinituulia @catsalad I now remembered Douglas Adams's
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

This isn't something that is terribly troubling me today, but it was something I was reminded of. If there is Alt Text provided, and it contains something written by a human, it's there for a purpose. Just for the love of socks skim through it if you're thinking of commenting, replying or asking something that very feasibly will already be mentioned or explained.
