What is death by PowerPoint?

Phrase used to describe a presentation that is overly long, overly complex, or overly reliant on slides, resulting in the audience being bored or disengaged. It's often used to describe presentations where the speaker reads the text on the slides word-for-word, using too much text, bullet points, and charts, and not enough visuals or engaging content. It is also used to describe presentations where the speaker is not engaging enough and not able to hold the attention of the audience.
