Has anyone went down the ADA/WCAG compliance rabbit hole? Some how, I detoured down this road.

There is a bunch of noise about people suing web masters for not meeting ADA compliance. It almost sounds as bad as patent trolls.

There are some plugins and scripts (USERWay.org) you can add to your site which is suppose to "help" your site to be compliant, but then there are counter articles saying these plugins/scripts are an open invitation for ligation.

Typically I'm not a doomsday person, but this has me doing a lot of research.

Has anyone done a deep dive into this subject matter? Is this more for e-com sites or fortune 500 companies and should I be concerned?

I've used Accessibe before. You can inject their code using GTM, or their own plugin. Within supposedly within 48 hours, their AI algorithm will figure out everything on your site and allow it all to be changed to be AA - AAA level compliance. The best part is that the algorithm will run every 24 hours and detect any changes and re-adjust AA-AAA compliance. The only two things it doesn't do is video subtitling and doc/pdf accessibility. Hope this helps.
