That's much less of a problem than the fact that papers are such poor media for sharing knowledge. They are published too slowly to be immediately useful versus just a quick chat, and simultaneously written in too rushed a way to comprehensively educate people on progress in the field.

Paper publications should be well-written, structured, thought-through results that make it worthwhile for the reader to spend their time. Anything else belongs to a blog post.
