In my field (Software), I find more profitable to me to watch one 40 min video from a conference rather than trying to understand a paper where the author had to compress all the information in a silly 10 pages limit from a random conference.
As an author it is amazing how I feel I can communicate my work more efficiently, and with pedagogy in a talk with slides (or in a blog post maybe) than in the constraints of an academic paper.
