If the slide deck is meant to be something that can be shared around and make sense without you, it needs to have a lot of text on the slides. Even putting it in the speaker notes doesn’t work.
So make sure you know your audience and the context (also important presentation advice)
If you have to serve both uses, text goes on the slides. If you’re primarily speaking then just include the speaker notes and hope it makes sense. If the slides will be shared primarily, text goes on the slides and you just deal with it while presenting.
Slide decks have a "NOTES" view.
Put pretty pictures in the REAL view.
Share it and they will read the NOTES view.
Duh.
Then isn't that just a document? Why use a slide deck?

Those talks don’t have too much text on slides, yet they can still be shared as text by including the speaker’s script aligned with each slide. They also have online video versions for comparison.
