Slideshows are the debil
When will people stop making them? It's like sitting through a freaking PowerPoint. I want to read this, but not enough to click through 52 pages.
And everyone knows all power points not about beards should be banished from the earth. Funny thing I heard in a class at work from this psychology professor: "never put the date and time on your first slide. If the audience doesn't know when and where they are you're wasting your time"
i found that amusing.

If your powerpoint is worth a ****, it will be passed around and stored on servers. People will eventually wonder when it was presented.
In short, FlabLoser writes for posterity because FlabLoser is historical.
Except 99.9999% are not worth a ****. Another "tip" she had, never use more than seven slides, or take more than 13 minutes talking about one. Those are limits of average human capability to focus. After that its check your email and play on your phone time. I seriously loathe them. But I see far too many of them, so maybe I'm biased.
You can also add the time and date if you email it to people, but presenting a presentation with that info is superfluous. I start all my meetings with "so, I'm not going to do death by PowerPoint today..."
the worst is people who combine clip-art and power points. Grrrrr.

I figured sites do slides to track clicks and get a few pennies per viewer.
It makes mobile users look at pages of ads, while other sites dont.
Total guess on my part though.
And yes I too hate slideshow articles.
I hate them partly because they are slow and partly because I hate bleacherreport. Damn I hate bleacherreport. The articles are crap, the site screws with my ipad like nothing else, and it takes forever to read their crappy articles.

Clip art and overuse of transitions. In college people love to make every word/phrase/paragraph on a slide fly in from the right, or appear using the miniblind effect, or whatever. If you're gonna use transitions at all just use one between slides but really I'm a fan of no transition effects at all.
