@britt@mstdn.games in my experience (as a sighted support worker with blind clients), there's an element of "depends on the person". I've had a client complain that Braille on packaging is too fine for them to read, while others read the same thing with no issues

My experience with Substack is limited to having created an account for one thing and finding my email the next day full of spam from substacks that I didn't sign up to. I complained to support and they changed their policy to not allow "creators" to sign you up without your permission.
