Substack accused of obfuscating text to break reader mode
Original: Tell HN: Substack obfuscating text to break reading mode
Substack is facing criticism from users who say the newsletter platform is deliberately obfuscating its text markup in a way that breaks reading mode and other accessibility or readability tools. The claim, shared by a developer on Hacker News, has drawn attention to how publishers format content and whether such tactics undermine users who prefer distraction-free or text-to-speech reading.
Why now: Readers and developers are debating platform tactics that appear to deliberately defeat reading-mode and accessibility tools.
