On the comparison of the two, seems like "how to invest" has always been higher than "what to invest". I do not see any unusual break in trend.
“If you buy a business just because it’s undervalued, then you have to worry about selling it when it reaches its intrinsic value. That’s hard. But if you can buy a few great companies, then you can sit on your ass. That’s a good thing.” - Charlie Munger

Personally I encountered more people that ask what to invest than the details of how to invest.
Investing is boring. People rather want a black box quant than a dissertation on value investing. They ask more question / do more research buying a fridge / TV than in investing 10X the amount. Best is can double money in 6-12 months. My own observations only.
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give. –William A. Ward

I tend to look at how to invest from the investing time-frame. I group them into 2 - short term and long term. The real long term are those who investment horizon are in years. This is the "boring" investments. And I the only way to invest (in the context of individual stocks) here is from a fundamental perspective. When it comes to short term, we have the technical traders and those who use "fundamentals" to see what is going to happen over the next few weeks/months. I think a lot of so-called fundamental investors fall into this short-term category. As far as I can see almost all the Malaysian analysts fall into this category.
