What is the problem with carousels?
The user needs to be in control.
Carousels often have terrible usability They move automatically (often too quickly) and have small, if any, navigation icons. A key rule of user interface design is that users need to be in control.
Do people still use carousel?
What are the advantages of using a carousel? Carousels are still a very popular element in many homepage layouts because it allows you to communicate a lot of information in a small space.
Why might a carousel be a poor web UI choice?
Sometimes carousels move too quickly, and users can't read the information, which is frustrating for them and not good for the organization trying to make a point. Sometimes carousels move too slowly, so when they do animate, it is surprising to the user. Your content resembles advertisements.
