To _me_ it says you aren’t serious about the work. That your TESCREAL patch is just waiting to get sewn on.
I’m trying to be less absolutist, less black-and-white. But boy is it hard given what I see every time I peel back the veneer.

#accessibility

But it also drove alt text keyword stuffing (among other bad practices).
So I was always wary of companies pitching accessibility *and* SEO in their marketing.
Now I see companies pitching accessible & “AI-ready” or “agent friendly” work, often still including SEO.
I’m calling foul.

Using SEO to justify accessibility was only ever a technique for bosses / clients driven by dashboards, money.
Ideally, you want to get past that ASAP to drive better outcomes for humans, not SERPs.
I get it as a foot-in-the-door tactic — hopefully no further.

There’s overlap between SEO, LLM-thieving, & accessibility. But twisting a human affordance to feed corporate efforts to make humans redundant (among the other harms) is a signal.
Different people will read that signal in different ways. If it sells work and you still focus on humans, cool.

We’ve already seen anti-user guidance from LLM companies asking for their notion of accessible sites.
Never mind that these PhD-level genius tools can’t handle a general site most kids navigate with ease. Let’s ignore the failure of their technology.
