The alt text is appreciated (I have a blind coworker who has to ask for it on every image in Teams and it seems exhausting) but as a general rule definitely include any non-decorative text in the alt so they can get the full impact, so they can really feel the 1999

It's a hard thing to measure. We know that in the USA about 4-5% of people in the community report serious difficulty seeing, and there are also people with no vision problems who also rely on alt text for context. But trying to identify specific disabilities in metrics gets politically iffy quick.
