Pretty much. I suspect I may be a minority, but I'd rather just have a really good case study in text format, with images where appropriate, rather than having to keep clicking through with cute visuals.

It feels to me a bit like it's cheapening the content by putting it into that context. It's like watching an anime version of Pride and Prejudice; I'm sure there's an audience for it, but I'm not it, and it feels cheap.

EDIT

Having thought about this a little more, it also feels like the analysis is more shallow than I think it actually is, due to the presentation context.

Sure thing! Totally respect your opinion Pete. I really believe in radical candor.

To give a bit of context, most people signup for our content specifically for the case study format (including, surprisingly, Fortune 500 execs). Tech scale-up product leaders tend to use it as a resource for internal education. (They tend to use the keyboard navigation though, not their mouse, the clicking is indeed tedious!)

With that said, we also know that many people prefer long form text—which is totally fine. The good news is that there's no shortage of Medium posts for that!

Thanks for your feedback again Pete. Cheers.

I'm not awared it supports keyboard navigation.

Edit: there is hint to use keyboard on the trello case study, but the hint isn't visible (if any) on the tinder case study.

Oh that's odd. Are you referring to /case-studies/tinder-monetization/ ? It is visible on my side (incognito mode)… I'll look into it. Thanks for the heads up.

I (too?) felt the pretty colours and the pointless mini-pics were patronising.
