Ask HN: Folks with disabilities, what is it like in this LLM/scraper age?

On HN

I see lots of posts about how people are putting poison fountains to combat LLM scrapers who disrespect robots.txt, and other various workarounds, and a nontrivial number of folks are impressed and support/condone this.

But I want to know how this particular minority is dealing with this. How has accessibility been hit? Are those aria- tags being abused for scraping?

Has it been business as usual or worse? Which kinds of sites have gotten worse? Which aspects of online culture do you feel like is no longer accessible? Are there any silver linings?

Would like inputs of either those with any kind of disability affecting interaction with the internet, or those who work directly with such people, face to face. Preferably not proxied through survey purgatory.
