Nice that someone noticed this issue. Not easy trying to use a screenrrader with those link texts.

@SirWindfield Not out of personal need. But I did my master's thesis on accessibility according to WCAG and my heart still beats for accessibility and usability issues.

Ah ok 👌 just out of curiosity, how should things like the read more part be made more accessible to people with disabilities?

@SirWindfield Since a strategy for scanning a page for a first impression when you are blind is having all the links read out loud it's much better to link the most specific part of a sentence.
"The presidential candidate referred to _a new study on mercury pollution_ in yesterdays campaign speech". Alt text is your friend here also. But most of WCAG is just common sense and beat practice that helps everybody. Just that while it helps most it's crucial for those with disability.
(Then there is the problem of different disabilities needing different and sometimes contradictory adaptations. Blind need text while those with some cognitive disabilities may need pictures. And so on (and on))
