@Roper300 While I don't disagree completely with some of your points, I have some objections to make:
1. Analysing Blitz isn't neceserally dumb. Of course, with way less time to think than a classical game, blunders occur way more often, but that doesn't mean that there are no noteworthy positions to analyse, like some endgames, or some sacrifices that seemed good or bad at first sight. I for example (not that I'm any good at this game whatsoever) tend to watch some of my games when I'm done, going back to search some interesting positions that came up, trying to memorise them so if something similar poped up in the future, I would be more familiar with it.
2. Yes, Blitz is really convenient. Many people don't get the chance to participate in RL tournaments so they end up playing more online. Now, most sites do have classical games, but there are many flaws with it. First of all, cheaters. It's the easiest thing to cheat in such games, and even if the cheater does end up being caught, you would have already spent hours on a game that was to be aborted. Second of all, there's a pretty high chance you would end up being bored. While in a RL tournament, you will get to look around other games, distract your mind just enough so you don't get bored to the point that you can no longer continue playing and, well, there's a huge difference between seeing your opponent across you, the pieces, the board rather than staring at your computer...
Of course, classical games have way more to offer in most aspects, you cannot dump the importance of Blitz and Rapid games... then again, that's just me...
