This page is impossible to read on smartphone at least. There are kilometers of empty space between each line and blocks. And the font is huge. There is 20 lines of a few words each at most per page of scroll.

I have now pain in my finger scrolling so much to try to see what is the point. Also a lot of useless speech and I have not reached the point of why aria label is code smell before giving up...

The main point was that they often see it used to label non-interactive elements, when it should only be used for interactive elements. It's a useful point to make, but that's not a code smell, that's faulty code.

The author should have chosen a better title, e.g. "Think twice before using aria-label".

Thank you very much for me tldr!

This was the problem, rather than the font size. Lede buried under 2000 words of generic intro

On the other hand, it was a pleasure to open a page and not have my less-young eyes scream, "C-+!"
