Since I don't boost images without descriptions I am simply forced to repost this content from @winampskins

@darius @winampskins thanks for sharing! Do you have any thoughts on how an automated bot like this could do better with text descriptions? I don’t have the bandwidth to hand author them so I’ve just settled for omitting them. I’m sure this is something you’ve thought about!

@captbaritone tbh I think the only real solution is to queue things up and write them yourself, like Mark does for @1994clipart, or just leave it off entirely so people can make the call themselves

@darius @captbaritone My initial solution for @1994clipart was to crowdsource it, e.g. have a separate feed/site where people could reply with the alt text they wanted, and the bot would grab that. But (1) I wasn’t sure I trusted the wisdom of the crowd, and (2) I wanted to have some fun myself.
