I don't know about everyone else but with my eyesight, the text on that page is pretty much impossible to read.

Strange for a blog post url that begins with "accessible".

I have pretty terrible eyesight, but I did not find the font or color difficult to read here.

The page has 86(ish) WCAG contrast errors mostly related to link colors: https://wave.webaim.org/report#/https://stripe.com/blog/acce...

I found it pretty difficult to read because it is so bright and uses lighter font color.

I just had a look, honestly expecting you to be exaggerating... but wow, that really is strangely difficult to read! I don't know if it's the colour, the font, the weight, or the perfectly bad combination of all three?!

From the second sentence: "Good contrast makes it easier for people with visual impairments to use products."

Agreed. The background is too white I think. It's blinding and I even have flux on. haha

I agree, the font is way too light.
