I think that if you're designing for the people who read your slides online, you're not serving either audience - neither the people in the room (who undergo death by powerpoint) nor the people online - who are forced to look at powerpoint bullet points rather than an actual written document with sentences, paragraphs, etc.

i've had collectively over 100K views by my presentations online, and ~10K downloads. for me, it's contributed significantly to the work that i do with startups.

note that my presos generally contain a lot of images, not ONLY a lot of text. but my point is that sometimes more, not less, is more. at least for async remote audience.

for people in the room, your live performance, not the slides, should be primary.

your mileage may vary.
