@hikari in those cases I often provide incomplete and terse descriptions. The reasoning being that it's always better than nothing.
"Beautiful anime screencap" is better than no description.
Also, I think the discourse of "please provide description" definitely sucks. I prefer the "here's a description" and then let the author add it (or not). I'd go further: it should be a feature of the social network to crowd source those.

@Aissen @hikari I want to note that multiple times I’ve had people donate a “missing” alt text to an image that already had a perfectly good alt text for some reason, which very much comes across like unsolicited grammar corrections, and so I ask that everyone please double check there’s actually a missing or severely inadequate alt text before donating one
