Auto-playing carousel without pause controls

Auto-playing carousel without pause controls
Don't Do This

Analysis

This carousel automatically advances without any pause or stop controls, violating WCAG 2.2.2 (Pause, Stop, Hide) and preventing users from reading content at their own pace.

The issue

Users cannot control the carousel's auto-rotation, making it impossible for those with reading difficulties or cognitive disabilities to consume the content properly.
