I specifically said searchable referring to images in general, not memes. I don't think people search memes that often.

i also didn't specify verbosity. Blind people are people, idk why we're talking like they're a different species. Whether or not you should alt text an image is directly related to whether or not you consider that image part of the content.

a meme is the content, when someone is looking at a post that's what they're looking at and reading. if someone wouldn't want to read it they can stop reading as soon as they see that it's a meme. if they want to read it they can keep going.

so no, I don't think meme transcriptions should be as verbose. so it's just "animal girl is repulsed by flatpak". you're explaining it to people who don't see as well, not people who were born yesterday.
