Accessibility friends. If the alt text on an image isn't really adding much, ie describing non-interactive UI elements is it better to just remove it? Ie if I've got an avatar image next to a person's name, is it better to mark that up with an alt text that says "such and such's avatar" to give as much information as possible or is it better to just leave it out cause their name is the next thing anyway?

Don't add the alt-text. It's not useful so it's annoying. 5% (2 votes)

@ash I believe that's a case of the image being "decorative". https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decorative/
