Is it intentional that the carousel switches so fast that reading the whole text...

Yes, it's intentional. That's part of the 'joke'.

Well, apparently it is:

    auto: {
        enabled: true,
        interval: 3000
        // HA HA! I HATE MY USERS!!! Especially the ones that aren't speed readers.
    }

Yes, I think it's meant to illustrate the point that they're frustrating.

Yeah, poorly implemented UI elements generally are. So, at best it's a joke, but doesn't really try to solve anything.

It's ego stroking.

I'm pretty sure it's intentional. Even most native speakers would have trouble with some of those last few slides: the ones with lots of text.

I was puzzled about the fast switching comment. This was the comment that made me go back and re-read the pae.

My reading speed is several times average. I had honestly not noticed that it would be difficult for most people. A good lesson to me on the importance of usability testing.

I was about to ask the same thing.
