made me chuckle.<\/p>\n

There is indeed a plethora of badly designed infographics out there (often these bad specimens are images 300 px wide and 3000 px high). Honestly, I have my doubts about this format anyway: e.g. I think infographics often don’t give enough context to the statistics they depict to do a topic justice. Rather they go for spectacular numbers. When these come along in a too isolated manner, they may still manage to impress, but they lose their informative value.\u00a0To make things worse, infographics are sometimes created as link bait<\/a> in an SEO strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I wonder: Is there or will there ever be an infographic about the rise and demise of infographics on the web? \u2013 Infographics in an eternal loop.<\/em><\/p>\n

Brain. Hurts. Must. Stop. Now.<\/p>\n
