#a11y folks, what's your take on this UI pattern that's quite common on social platforms: A button with a verb label (e.g. "Follow") that, after the button was pressed, changes to an adjective describing the status (e.g. "Following"), rather than being explicit about the action it'll perform when pressed again (e.g. "Unfollow"). Do you find this problematic in practice? image
