now accessibility is woke? Despite your degenerate 4chan lingo this will scare everyone who is not a normie because like your vocabulary, Twitter will degenerate for less fortunate people which have real disabilities.

Accessibility mostly means that the intended experience is preserved if you need to use tools like screen readers. Accessibility != User Friendly

I mean if I need to lower costs ASAP, nice to haves like A11y would be the first to get cut.

Is A11y a nice to have? Doesn't the ADA mandate a certain level of accessibility on companies of a certain size.

Not the ADA specifically, but American courts have generally held that large commercial websites do need to be accessible in terms of the ADA.

That's aside from the cruelty of diminishing accessibility on a major social platform, slowly cutting off disabled users, despite its cost likely being a rounding error in the greater scheme of things.

None of those are accessibility issues, they're product design choices.
