This is not the way to get people on board with accessibility. Open a PR and fix the issue or come up with ways to make accessibility an easier branch to reach or more common knowledge.
It is a bit funny that you are complaining from the style of my complaining. Not offering a better way to do it brings the discussion to my level, which is a bit sad.
Anyways, the reason that such situations piss me so much is because of the sucker punch that they feel like. You click on something that is text, it can't be anything but text, yet someone has converted it to a picture to make it pop up easier in social media which by the way excludes me from the fun that I expected to share.
I see from your profile that you are blind, so you're likely missing some context here. The "Opening Quotes" are more aptly described as title cards that appear at the end of each opening. Generally, the title cards are the Futurama logo with short gag-lines, although it's not entirely text as there are often visual elements as well. The images are video screengrabs of each title card, rather than something the author created.
Yep, someone else mentioned it as well. On the other side, the author has bothered to enumerate each and every one of the pictures with a caption, just the text is totally useless from a11y perspective.
I sent an email to Abhishek because the repository their website is in seems to be closed source. I've offered to send a patch via email if they can forward me the code.
My email is listed on my profile if you'd like to collaborate.
Edit: Abhishek has agreed to share the source for modification.
Edit: However, I can't find your email. Not sure why, but in your profile there is only some quote and "Can be reached on Freenode". Is the email kodah \at freenode.net?
It does suck that you can't read them, but they haven't converted them to pictures. Instead they're screenshots of the opening screens which have commonly have slight differences in presentation. As a person who can see I quite liked seeing how the title card text evolved as the show progressed.
But yea, it does suck that there is no accessible alt text.
