It's not completely unrelated I think.
It's hard to me to see how a site with a vision like Quora (had) can continue existing for long after they start ignoring accessibility issues.
Sounds like I should be looking for a Stack Overflow alternative too.
(I'm suspecting that this might be related to the recent issue of better accessibility also making it easier to abuse for neural network based abusers, and it certainly looks like a hard problem to solve for the most popular websites.)
- scarface_74 3y agoAccessibility is important. But it doesn’t relate to success of a company. Besides, modern screen readers and even accessibility affordances on modern cell phones - at least iPhones - don’t struggle or care whether the site uses JavaScript

- scarface_74 3y agoFinancial success or rate of growth
- nonrandomstring 3y agoRight and those are good things. Noble things. There's nothing wrong with making a few pennies and jobs for others. But they are not the only things that define the success of a person, or a company. WOuld you agree?
