Downvoted? Why?

• xchip 9y ago
  Just so I can learn I'd appreciate to understand the reasons for the downvoting.

    I suspect because tl;drs are often frowned upon. The article isn’t so long, and HN members generally strive for substance and more depth (even if they don’t always achieve it) and tl;drs work against that. That’s my guess, anyway. Mindreading is tough, and those that downvote without comment tend not to comment even when prodded (which is one of the reasons comments on voting is against the guidelines).

      And how does a TL;DR stop people from getting more substance and depth? You still have the option to read the article...
