$JOB-2 got sued over website accessibility. The way these cases go is someone uses the WAVE browser extension to identify accessibility issues, and anything yellow or red becomes part of the cause of action. IIRC we settled out of court.

We were pretty large, big-name online merchandise retailer. Definitely put our heels to the fire on giving the frontend a design refresh.

Sounds like they were taken to the cleaners by grifters.

You're implying the the only benefactors of that actions were the people suing. That's not the case. They're accessibility standards for a reason. They're the minimum required to not make an impaired person's life hell. And we should all care about that.
