Don't post images of text. Just copy and paste it .
The point is the image. And the reason it's at the bottom is the artistic way to tell you how I felt; scrolling down the page, reading, then seeing the image and getting even angrier/annoyed.
okay but you could have copied the text and posted the image of the kid
But... why? The point is not the text, but catching the specific feeling of scrolling/reading down the article, and seeing the pic. If you want to read any text, open the article ffs
Screen readers for blind people can't decipher text that's in images
... And? I strongly doubt that either screen readers or manual reading would resemble the same effect. The entire point of the image is to feel the same as I did after reading the article. Scroll down the page, see the image, realize. That's captured 1:1 by the screenshot. And not at all by manually copy-pasting the text, and then putting the image (with alt text) underneath. That wouldn't be an Aha!-Moment, but utter confusion, because - again - the text is entirely irrelevant. Copying the text emphasizes its content, screenshotting emphasizes the moment.
The only actually useful way to convey the message would be to add an alt text to the screenshot - which idk how to do on lemmy properly, in contrast to Mastodon.
Besides, which modern screen reader does not have at least OCR?
