Continuing the discussion from [Spoiler blur not compatible with screen readers](https://meta.discourse.org/t/spoiler-blur-not-compatible-with-screen-readers/219001):

I’ve had [a report](https://intfiction.org/t/spoilers-and-screenreaders/60866) from a VoiceOver user that the new spoiler code doesn’t work:

> Have any of my fellow screenreader users been experiencing difficulties with the updated spoilers feature on the forum? At least I ASSUME there’s been an update—it used to be that spoiler text would read as normal with no indication that anything was supposed to be hidden, which of course wasn’t ideal. The update seems to have fixed this issue by putting content behind a collapsible area labeled “show hidden content”, but for some reason the text isn’t being picked up when I press the button to expand/reveal it. For reference I’m using Voiceover, Apple’s native screenreader, and I’ve noticed this both on iOS and Mac OS.
