I suggest you spend some time with a screen reader or have a look at the accessibility tab of you browser to get a feel of the worth of semantic web.
It's true you won't ever have a perfect semantic representation of a page (and I have no idea how blind people manage those infinite scroller), but in my mind having <nav> or <div role="nav"> instead of <div class="my_non_standard_nav_classname"> still helps a lot on that aspect.
- mike_hearn 2y agoI use Shortcat all the time which relies heavily on the accessibility tree. Screen readers / accessibility tools don't use the semantic web. The semantic web doesn't exist, it refers to the Tim Berners-Lee vision of documents being XML or RDF data structures with schemas, transformed into pixels using stylesheets and XSL:T. It never happened for various reasons.
