I agree with @corviditi that adding serifs will create more problems that in solves ESPECIALLY for those with dyslexia. There are plenty of fonts out there that solve the I vs L problem whilst still not using serifs and therefore remaining accessible. As such, I've opened a new issue at: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/933812-safety/suggestions/45174628-default-font-is-causing-impersonation-problems
@PositiveIona I hope you don't think I'm trying to invalidate your suggestion. And I made sure to reference your original post here for context to the original problem but proposing a more accessible solution based on @corviditi's suggestions below and also guided by insight from a personal friend who is dyslexic.
I don't know which is worse: the fact this was opt-in by default or the fact it was rolled out so quietly and most of us only found out via others reporting it on socials. For this to have been on by default should have required a change in TOS which would have required notifying users. So this was a deliberate act to avoid notifying users and attempt to get ppl on-board via ignorance. They hoped most ppl wouldn't notice. It has since been confirmed by Twitch staff that they did it on purpose because they knew no one would opt in by choice. It is utterly disgraceful conduct from a global company and I'd be surprised if this wasn't actually illegal in some territories. Amazon need to remember they aren't just bound by US law but by the laws of all territories it operates in and provides services to. It is theft of our art, our words and our content but they know that most ppl won't jump ship to other services as no one else offers quite the same features as they do and they're so ingrained as "the place to stream" they aren't worried about the few who will leave and they know ppl will begrudgingly stay so they can get away with stunts like this regardless of how they conduct themselves. If we took people's content and tried to pass it off as our own, it'd be a copyright infringement; but for some reason these corporations seem to think that AI scraping is somehow above copyright law. We must draw the line and show these companies that we don't want our data harvested by AI.
