    "How is this still not actioned?"

    A while back I spoke with some people who worked at Twitch who described systemic ableism internally, I think they just do not care, or the people who do have no power, so I think a more public pressure campaign would be needed to action something so fundamental and simple as this.

    Keep in mind this is one of the most known parts of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, which is rightly used as a bare minimum worldwide as it related to disabled people's legal rights to access.

    Twitch has a history of allowing ableism on the platform and I know a previous Head of Accessibility was pushed out trying to make progress. Don't expect them to do this any time soon. They don't care.
