This is a great list of important things making the web more accessible! 😊
By the way, video captions (mentioned in the 6th item) are actually meant for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, not people with visual impairment 😊 Audio description or a media alternative would help them with synchronised media.
I'd add to this. Captions should be added to audio (where it makes sense) too. Think about those training presentations that every companies HR sends round. They're typically made up of mixed video and presentations with a voiceover. Supplying a text alternative only for the video part could still mean some people miss out on some content.
Another point which is especially important in speech on an audio/video clip is to make sure it uses full stereo channels. I work with someone who has loss of hearing in one ear. When the annual HR training stuff came through, some parts could only be heard in one earphone, meaning they had no idea that anything was being said, it just looked broken!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
