Every image has "oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API" as alt text

[hteumeuleu]

Every image embedded in a tweet has the following text as an alternative text:

oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API

While I get that this is a funny mention to an earlier limitation of the API, I don't think this is useful nor appreciated by people who need alt text. A better option in my opinion would be to have an empty alt attribute.
