@Infrapink @freakboy3742 True, the problem has existed for ages.. IMHO it has been exacerbated by increased use of online meetings since COVID-19. (Certainly in Europe that was a game changer when it comes to the acceptance of online meetings)

Advice I was given in my youth:@freakboy3742 Personally I blame the prelevalence of online presentations. Small fonts are more acceptable in such a setting because all attendees have a high resolution screen directly in front of them.
Pesenting an in person training, let alone a talk at a conference in a long shoebox shaped room - minimal text, super large fonts.
As a trainer I've worked with companies whose presentation template was created by a design company. Cool, but only aimed at online presentations, so unusable for training.
And no, slide content is neither 'the talk', nor is it reference reading for the attendees. A violin is important in a concerto, but it's not about the violin, but about its effect on those listening, a means to an end.
If you disagree, feel free to use minute fonts and add lots of preferably unrelated clipart, or super complicated ai generated infographics. Wingdings, anyone?
