Don't write generic descriptions for alt text. "Screenshot of a news article" might technically be what the image is, but it does nothing to convey the information or context sighted users get from the image. People who can't see the image need the same information and context.

Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms?

If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on:
1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player.
2. Click "Report Playback Issue".
3. Select this option.

Hopefully this will work!

If you only look at your followers as “money givers” no one will support you. It feels gross and not genuine. Half the reason woubble is so successful is because I’m just like “look at my little guy that I love” and people are like “I would like to purchase your little guy” and I’m like “ok!”

I saw a post of an author complaining that they weren't making any sales here and would leave if they couldn't.

Here's the thing. No one's here to follow people who ONLY talk about and push sales. This is not a sales site. We're not here to be advertised to. This place is for community, first.

Plain language is communication that your audience can understand the first time they hear or read it. This varies by audience, of course. What is common vocabulary for accountants won't necessarily be common for chemists, clergy, or engineers. Know your audience.

Some people need to change the way text is displayed in order to read it. This includes changing size, spacing, font, color, and other properties. When people customize text, the text should re-flow so they don’t have to scroll horizontally to read.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.
