I get that it’s usually seen as bad practice to write down all the points and read from the slides, but honestly, I like that style sometimes. My monkey brain gets distracted easily, and I often lose track. Having detailed agendas displayed on the screen helps me follow along better.

I especially like it for reading the slides without the video. Oftentimes, the slides for a presentation will be available but a video recording will not be, and having all the information on the slides makes it easier to learn from those presentations.

Of course, the "correct" way to do this would be with "speakers notes", but those seem to often be stripped off of archived presentations for whatever reason.
