Top accessibility complaints from people with disabilities
What bothers me more than people designing inaccessable sites is their excuse of "well, why put extra money and effort into catering to such a small segment of the population?"Videos released without captions are OK, because "they're free!" Websites without Aria tags are OK, because "screen readers just need to get better." Low contrast fonts are OK, because "my design won't work with different font colors."Everyone who doesn't die in their prime of life will eventually be disabled in some fashion; but so few people really seem to realize this (or care).EDIT: Good question - do I practice what I preach? Yes, I do. I'm in an SRE position, and a few of our developers are hard of hearing, so I caption the training videos I make, without asking if they need them. No blind folks, but I make sure to use reasonable styles and page layouts to support fading eyesight. I don't set up Aria tags myself, because I don't have any users who need them at the moment.None of my external or OS contributions are to UI related projects, so nothing of note there.
