The process of weeding out. Sometimes it's better to select against sensitive people.

Why would you select against people with poor vision?

The green seems a bit harsh, yes.

But all in all it is a good page for people with poor vision.

No low-contrast and no white background, which are both considered bad on screens.

Yes, the white on black is fine. I checked the #8a7ae2 purple (http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/) and, surprisingly, it passes WCAG AAA guidelines. I say "surprisingly" because it hurts my eyes. I think jumping between the alternating white and purple is what does it.

Why would you select against people reading your article?
