They can also serve as memory anchors/reminders to people after they saw your presentation. I also like the way Maciej Ceglowski archives his presentations: Slides, with little to none text in the left, combined with a summary of the actual talk on the right. Makes it extremely easy to retrace the talk from the archives and even get all the jokes and rethorical devices from the original presentation. Example: https://idlewords.com/talks/haunted_by_data.htm https://idlewords.com/talks/haunted_by_data.htm (Imagine if he was just giving away the slides on the left without any text, it would basically be a random collection of images without any understandable meaning)
