To recap, the placeholder attribute:
Can’t be automatically translated;
Is oftentimes used in place of a label, locking out assistive technology;
Can hide important information when content is entered;
Can be too light-colored to be legible;
Has limited styling options;
May look like pre-filled information and be skipped over.
