Yeah, people equate TLDR with laziness but there's an infinity of new stuff to read so I want to be able to quickly evaluate if I want to read something before spending too much time on it.
I don't find articles that have a vague dramatic opening that gets you wondering where it's going works anymore.
- white-flame 12y agoSame here. If I see an in media res opening on a supposedly informative article, I skip down a few paragraphs. If I still can't see the meat of the matter, I skip it. Inform me, don't try to "entice" me towards your embellishments. Ain't nobody got time for that.
- ptaipale 12y agoI, or one, don't really equate TLDR with laziness. I equate with "get rid of all that unnecessary bloat and clickbait headlines". The headline of this article, in my opinion, should have been "too monotonic diet", not "too much rice".
