Love the approach of breaking down myths! Excellent point especially about taking the prefers reduced motion too far.

It's neat that you broke this down into several mini-articles; as it stands, though, their titles do not actually match the content. That is, in the feed I see an article titled "Accessible websites are ugly", but the article is actually about how that's a myth; to some that might feel clickbaity 😕

Thanks! 😊

That is a great point about the title. I should definitely update them. How about adding "Myth: " at the beginning of each title? That way, it would be something like "Myth: Accessible websites are ugly", which would make it clearer what the content is about. Suggestions?

I updated the mini-articles with the "Myth: " thing. Hopefully they look better and not so clickbaity now. The only one I didn't update was the "No ARIA > Bad ARIA" as I don't want people to think that's a myth (more of a missing part in the equation)

Yep, prepending "Myth: " was definitely the first thing I thought of too!
