It really depends on the goal of the content - are buzzwords being used to get the target audience enthused? Is the audience familiar with the terminology? An assumption of knowledge can help hone in on the right audience - encapsulating complex ideas - while reducing clarity for others.Also, buzzwords for their own sake can be very tedious when overused. I’m immediately turned off when I read about anything other than a vehicle being “streamlined” at this stage.
Very quickly the meanings of the buzzwords become so diluted as to be meaningless as a differentiator.
