The meta-irony is that an article lambasting the "TL;DR culture" needed a TL;DR to be palatable. I always appreciate when someone takes the time to summarize these "wall of text" articles, since I tend to not have 30 whole minutes spend while the author tries to get to the point. I need things to be boiled down (I'm looking at you, New Yorker!) and I personally find more utility in skimming 10 articles than fully investing in a single one.
