Another reason to downvote tl;dr comments is that such a comment is simply not up to the quality level expected at HN. If you can't be bothered to read the original article & post a thoughtful comment, simply don't comment.
- wnoise 16y ago"tl;dr" doesn't only mean "It's too long so I didn't read it". It's also commonly used as "I thought this was too long, and can get across what I consider important in a much smaller space. If you might have found this too long and didn't read it, here's a summary for you." I agree that bare "tl;dr"s should be voted down. But clear condensations shouldn't be just because of a "tl;dr" prefix.
