Since 2016, I've been thinking about how clear, informative, non-academic talks don't seem very popular.
In 2016, @garybernhardt gave a talk on reproducibility at StrangeLoop which I thought was quite good. It clearly explained a non-obvious idea and came in well under time.

Gary's talk was so good, so clear, that everyone I talked to thought the talk was bad. If there was more vague ranting or talking around the point instead of actually conveying the point, I suspect people would've liked the talk.

This also happens at work! A friend of mine went up for "senior staff" promo (and succeeded), but someone on the promo committee objected b/c "that could've been done by a SWE-2", as if figuring out a simple way to do something valuable makes it less valuable.
