I hate infographics. Although I understand the need for an overview of a subject, I don't think it's a substitute for a meaty body of text. I feel that anytime a subject is processed and homogenized into a one page graphic that I'm selling myself short. They remind me of "talking points" you see on the "news". I'd rather just read a body of text and then give myself some leeway to discover more about the topic in my own way. I have the patience and willpower to truly discover some truths, instead of parroting a factoid from an infographic. I do like how they are being used to draw people into a topic, and I do understand how data scientists are redefining visualization, I just don't like to see a ton of them for no reason other than being trendy.
