I get what you mean. However, I dont agree that "we" cant do anything about user content. Users will use the technology that is provided to them. If the tech providers dont care about accessibility ultimately, they will create tools that make it easy for users to generate inaccessible content. So I dont agree. It is not something the industry can do nothing about. It is simply something the industry is systematically forgetting about in at least the last 10 years.
- 30minAdayHN 6y agoI totally agree that if made a priority industry can definitely create better tech that leads to more accessible content. But as you said, for an industry that systematically ignored the problem for 10yrs, I would rather push them for generation of better accessible published content than user content and hence i said it’s a trade off. I also wonder how ML can potentially help here. For example, for images without alts, automatically populate them.
