Did you post something like "TL;DR"? I didn't see your post but I suspect I'm not alone in having a rather repulsed reaction to that meme; its tone seems to celebrate being too dim to be bothered to read something, or being dismissive about the possibility that length may contain content. It is certainly often flung as a cheap, content-free, at times even outright anti-intellectual criticism of a piece of writing.
On the other hand, a polite request for a summary, and/or a well-written summary not prefixed with a borderline-snarky "TL;DR" is often well-received.
I recognize that some people seem to use it more neutrally. YMMV. But I have a hard time not expanding the acronym fully in my head, and it never sounds very nice.
I explicitly said that the article was too long for the amount of content it contained. It had far too much of a story-telling style yet may have contained some insight.
I really, really dislike these long-form articles when I'm looking for information rather than entertainment.
I don't think TL;DR carries that connotation universally. At work, whenever we send out an email to the whole team, we start with a tl;dr.
An example would be "TL;dr git repository will be down from 4-6", and then the rest of the email will explain why and what's going on in more detail. It's really just emphasizing the key takeaway.
The difference between those use cases is an author voluntarily providing a 'tl;dr' short summary for convenience vs a lazy reader just dumping that comment on an article that dared to challenge his/her attention span.
