I've worked with the accessibility team at YouTube. That team has brilliant engineers who are themselves blind or deaf, so they really do understand their customers, even if that community is relatively small. If this a grassroots decision from that team, I'm sure they have thought long and hard about it, and I respect that decision.

I still believe Alphabet is a company that truly wants to make the world a better place -- I hope they're living by their principles, and not letting the profits (of which they have plenty) get in way.

So what was the rationale for this decision?
