I read a lot of slide decks. I go to very few conferences (live in NZ) and videos of talks are often not available or of poor quality (camera stays on presenter or slides obscured). Also I can go through a slide deck in a few minutes while a 1 hour presentation takes an hour to view the whole thing and a significant amount of time for me to decide if it is uninteresting.
Obviously you don't get much out of presetations that are just 20 flickr photos and 10 words but for decks like this you can learn a bit.
Since many presentations are "read" by more people than "watched" I'd hope that authors will pay more attention into improving the readability of their presentations (perhaps by releasing more wordy versions).
