You don't know if there's a tldr at the end or not so you end up reading the whole thing, only to realise there's a summary at the end.
Save me the trouble of having to scroll down (and if there's no tldr, back up) and just put it at the top.
I'm glad research papers don't follow your logic and actually start with the abstract. -
@bananaerror It's not the papers I mean, but rather forums and social posts. I also appreciate the abstract whenever it's used, it's a convenience.
But I implore all gathered here to stop complaining about casual afternoon posts missing such level of convenience - well, sorry if it's hard on your OCD. It's just that the point of such reaction is missing, given the context. -
@sleepless you should sleep more
For those who whine about authors putting "TL;DR" after the text that was supposed not to be necessarily read...
"TL;DR" means "Too long; didn't read". Hence, we have all the audacity to insert it *after* the long text. When you don't have time to read, you usually scroll to bottom and find a summary if any.
At least, scrolling can be done even by monke and author can concentrate on writing the streams of text to their heart's content instead of fishy semantics.
