This is exactly the kind of article I expect a tl;dr on, I actually looked for it to save myself opening the article, scanning for "referer" and then closing it immediately (which I did because the tl;dr was so low)

I think this is a backlash from the self-congratulatory, self-indulgent tone medium has perpetuated, not through design I'm sure.

Sometimes one just wants to validate what we expect/know and move on; personally I don't want more than 200 words to elaborate this headline.
