Recently I was reading about blind people’s experience of Netflix having been poor (no audio descriptions) for years and years and the media never picking it up despite organized groups begging them to do so…until Daredevil was released and outrageous headlines like “blind people can’t enjoy a show about a blind superhero” became possible.

And of course, Netflix released audio descriptions post haste once the headlines hit…turns out it was trivial all along.

The moral of the story is, if you want it in the press, make it outrageous first.
