Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for accessibility guidance, such as iPhone accessibility settings for a stroke patient and using Kagi with low vision. One commenter calls the author excellent.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Looks like they are using the hidden "not" and the weird :after CSS pseudo element to draw a line over text instead of "text-decoration: line-through;" probably because screen readers don't recognize the proper strike-trough styling: https://veroniiiica.com/2020/05/29/tips-for-censoring-text-w... If that's the case than it should be fixed in the screen readers instead of still requiring CSS "hacking" in 2021.
