stop behaviour: telling random people you’ve never interacted with before to caption their images
replace with behaviour: replying to their post with an image description
advantages: not hostile towards people legitimately unable to caption; sufficiently annoying for the others but impossible to criticise; provides immediate value to people struggling to make sense of the picture; provides an example for what a caption should look like for those who are new to the feature

Provide the change you wish to see in the world.
I've seen general critics of how people caption them, but rarely any suggestions of how to improve them that someone can learn from.
