I fight to record any presentations I do as often as possible. When I am asked for the slides I send the full recording instead as the way to manage this exact issue.

Few things are as frustrating as finding slides from what seems to be an insightful talk strongly pertaining to what you are working on, but no recording of that talk to watch.

I applaud the effort to record such talks, especially in the current age where you know few people will actually watch it and appreciate your effort (but some big LLM provider will certainly lift it as part of a mass scrape and charge a few bucks for access to your findings without crediting you).

What do you expect people to do with that? Spend another hour rewatching the thing? Push it into some AI summary tool?

If information is important enough to bother someone asking for a copy of it, but not important enough to spend an hour ingesting, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Yes, why not? Those who missed the real thing can watch it sped up and skip parts, saving time.

Yes?

There exists a slider at the bottom of most videos you can click and drag to your prefered location /s

A video of the presentation is pretty much always better than just the slides. Even if you got the slides you'd have to click through them to find the one you were looking for. Your argument could just as easily be phrased:

"What do you expect people to do with that? Click through and read every slide?"

And it would make about as much sense as the original argument (none).
