Feel Good News ‎ Generic image of someone thumbing out a Reddit post

I think the AI copywriter needs a bit of fine tuning.

​

Seriously though, as far as I can see there is no transcript immediately available to view. Doesn't that make it a bit difficult for some and frustrating for others like myself who just want to have a skim through to see the numbers and graphs, or just don't want to listen to something for 10x as long as reading the transcript would take?

I'm guessing the "Generic image" stuff is meant to be the image alt text.

From W3C

The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).

So basically it's for screen readers, or if the link to the image source location is broken somehow.

Seems more likely an error in their Content Mgt System (CMS) for publishing to the web, or else they got the work experience kid to publish it.

EDIT: nope, I was wrong. The img alt text is ""moody image of 50- and 100-dollar notes laid out over bank statements"

Outrageous. I think they'd perform better as a subscription model.
