A couple of important points on this for me in haste:
- I don't have time to watch hours of stream of consciousness talking head videos.
- I don't have time to travel to vendor events to be glad handed, grin f*¢kd and be broadcast to
What is critically missing for the client side is *brevity*. If a FTE is working 80 hours+ a week trying to break concrete ERP foundations so more modern systems/ modules can coexist with legacy tech they have v little time to attend live events, live video streams or any other time suck.
Most people realize bigTech analyst budget is run by the people who run marketing, ergo a great deal of 'analysis' by analysts is a blend of pr, strengths and weakness overview and evaluation of market position because that's what vendors want to pay for.
The great thing about blog posts is you can skim them and read if you think there is substance there. I'm not going to take a chance on a live event in case it's good, nor am I going ot watch hours of video in case I find a nugget.

No time. Got to go
All fair points though colleagues will raise ‘serendipity’ as the most important element. I’m not so easily persuaded.
If one has the time yes, but decision makers are typically not in the chattering classes
