If my obese doctor tells me I need to lose weight, I have two choices. Either I can weigh his advice, or I can ignore him and cluck that his comment is really rich considering he is overweight himself.
I think the first option is helpful; the second option is boringly obvious and not helpful.
As for the style, I found it to be entertaining and helped make a possibly dry topic seem a little less like a lecture and more like friendly advice.
- systemvoltage 6y agoThat's a bad analogy. The reason why you trust your obese doctor for weight loss advice is not because their body shape, but because of the credentials (Doctor). Replace a doctor with a random stranger (which is what this website is, I don't know the person giving advice about the modals) on the street who is obese and tries to tell you with authoritative voice - "Hey! Listen, you're fat and this is how to lose weight!". That's more accurate. I can agree with you about the entertainment value, I personally don't see it but if someone is entertained by it, good.
- the_other 6y agoThe depth and clarity of the advice and the effort put into presenting it work as solid credentials in this case. The author is clearly a “doctor” of design. Look how well those those graphics get their message across, whilst also matching the style of the text. That takes a real steady hand (both literately and figuratively).
