What do y'all think about APS' decision to offer 15min flash talks (1 person) rather than symposia in 2021 virtual conference? Bit sad that (online) panel discussions, symposia followed by discussions, etc are skipped. Always found such interactions btw folks most engaging.
But have no experience in conference orga, so I'm sure there are good reasons.
To me, looks like youtube would do a better job because 1) youtube comes without conference fee, and 2) presentations would be #openaccess rather than behind APS paywall.
What am I missing? Thx!

In case all talks open, there is genuine value to participate in APS of course ($ then is for talks to be organized, vetted, grouped, etc).
In case talks paywalled, curious how that can be policed (can hardly forbid folks to upload talks into general OSF repository)

Thinking about this more, another genuine value generated by APS in this case of course is to motivate folks to record videos and share them with the community, and to talk about their research.
