I decided to stop supporting Medium with my articles due to the disregard for accessibility, and would urge any accessibility writers to do the same. Why support a company that can't even create a good writing experience for the blind? Or even a nice reading experience? And no, having a text to speech thing doesn't help, it's just more bullcrap browsers have to load, and infantalizes us further since aww de poor widdle blindie can't even read the Internet! Of course, it's nice for those who don't know about built-in tools like speak screen and such, but using built-in TTS engines would surely be better than calling out to Google or whatever the crap Medium uses.
