Can I ask what classifies an image as an 'infographic' as opposed to 'fancy type applied to some bullet points and encoded into an image'? The purpose of an infographic is to make important, or otherwise difficult-to-communicate information available at a glance; accessibility is paramount. Yet for information such as this, I feel I'd prefer a list of bullet points that I can copy and paste; hyperlinks I can click on instead of URLs I have to type character-by-character into my browser. These days I could take almost any paragraph of text or slide deck, apply a few H&FJ typefaces, colors and borders, and call it an 'infographic'.

Agreed. I also do not see how this infographic is 'simple'

Based on most infographics I've seen a better definition would be "information jumble with hidden SEO motives"
