Because (to oversimplify things by a lot) you don't have to care in most cases. You have legal requirements as a public institution, when selling to governments / educational institutions or as an employer (depending on country), but requiring all privately-run, commercial websites to be accessible is usually not a thing. This is not legal advice by any means, and the actual situation is way more complicated than that.

Totally agree. Whilst I think that Reddit _should_ support their blind users in this case, as a general/blanket rule that you can sue anyone who doesn't then everyone's blogs/dinky little sites need perfect/proper accessibility done for them, which just isn't feasible.

Reddit is large enough that if they don't have a positive response for that sub then they're just a total disgrace. Who TF wants to make it harder for blind people to live their lives? Only evil corpo fuckers, that's who.
