They sell books. Maybe they don't want this kind of tldr audience.

What I described isn't a TLDR, it's still a full essay, just with the most powerful/engaging content up front, instead of buried at the end.

In fact I've recently found myself reading blog posts backward just to skip the rambling pre-amble and get straight to the meat of it, but I still backtrack from the end to the beginning, filling in the details.

And, books != essays.
