Pain
summary
More than 100 million people in the US experience ongoing pain and about 50 million in persistent severe pain, and chronic pain reduces available energy so web friction—small touch targets, gray-on-gray text, overlays, CAPTCHAs, forced accounts—becomes unusable. Practical fixes offered include content blockers, VPN/Tor, ad-blockers, and proposals like user-centered passwords and a textile dressing for temporal drug delivery to reduce systemic opioid use and unnecessary interactions.
