I'm surprised not to see images-of-text being called out here. This is a huge issue on Twitter, since people work around the character limit by using images with lots of text. I've even seen this done on #a11y twitter chats, amazingly.

Yeah, never see those used! Do you know if they can be added after the tweet is posted? Or if the text is used in search results?
