VCs' content marketing posts are the bleating edge of technology.
That said, there are some good ones. They are usually written by long-time operators who flipped to investing. Or from VCs with a real sense for data analysis, combined with real-world experience.
One problem VC posts have, for a founder audience, is their level of abstraction. Because VCs are exposed to so many startups, they do see patterns within and across sectors, but that point of view and level of generality aren't usually shared by people in the industry. Also, while the operators may not be exposed the same breadth of businesses, their understanding is much more granular and the VCs' broad theses can ring false, given their very specific conditions.
