Screen readers, braile readers, rss readers, search bots, voice assistants like Siri or Google Assistant, social media embeds....

Future tech too. Who knows what's going to be consuming our content in the future, or what input and output devices we (or others) are going to be using to navigate content and apps.

and anyone still using an RSS reader. Anyone sharing something on Facebook or other social media, me when I'm trying to write an app to do something interesting for which there is no existing API.
