Is this really much less usable for screen reader users than anybody else?

The sighted user sees the tweet, “check this out!” And a BBC banner but no other information about the link.

The screen reader user hears the tweet, “check this out!” And hears that there is a link.

I guess the image provides a tiny bit more context that the mystery link goes to the BBC, but that ‘s not a ton more.

X should do away with the images too.
