I saw a video yesterday about some AWS conference that had an interesting insight that I feel should apply here as well.
"If you’re going to attend a talk, bias for Chalk Talks. Those are not recorded and they’re given by experts, many of whom work at AWS. And because it’s not recorded, they don’t feel the all-seeing eye humorless AWS PR and legal review on them quite as strongly, so they’re going to be a lot more direct about what they’re trying to get across. And some of the people you meet are just fantastic."
So the idea is that by the mere act of recording (or publishing, even if it's limited) you limit the quality and candor, because people know that everything can and will be misunderstood.
