Maybe I'm used to my slow internet connection, but I've been seeing these tags before the images load for a couple of years now - I thought it was common knowledge.
Lots of comments about how this isn’t new, or how it’s related to accessibility. The article mentions all this. That’s not what the story is. It’s not a very deep story, but I don’t think it’s quite so trivial as is being suggested. The story is about this info being exposed to users just browsing the site, and the reaction that elicits.
