Informative elements should aim for short, descriptive alternative text. Alternative text that is exactly the same as the text adjacent to the link or image is potentially confusing for screen reader users, because the text will be read twice.
Gives screen reader users meaningful descriptions of interactive elements so they can understand and use them.
As a screen reader user, I want all interactive elements to have clear, descriptive names so that I know what they do.
