@DBSV @aardrian Die üblichen Verdächtigen der deutschen Overlay-Branche sind derzeit wieder groß auf Vertriebstour. Ständig muss man sich danach bei den Kunden den Mund fusselig reden, warum das schon vom technischen Ansatz her eine schlechte Idee ist.

Und nicht selten wird dann trotzdem gemacht, weil die Chefetage das will.

@coe
This is not surprising. Every time a government or disability organization comes out with a statement, the overlays go into marketing overdrive. Partly to sow doubt, partly to gauge new messaging, and partly to “flood the zone” (overwhelm SEO, social media, etc. with their own message and drown out the rest). It'’ a shitty but effective response.

@aardrian @DBSV These people also address primarily management and higher ranks, trying to circumvent experienced accessibility professionals.

I can remember being part of a discussion with a client and this overlay company. After I had put forth all arguments against overlays, its CEO suggested to the client that we as accessibility professionals who are working for an agency would surely have our own agenda; this was the real reason why we are against using their tool. Ugh.
