That's why we have TL:DR you can read the general idea (or summary) and if you want to read the details you can go back.
TL:DR - we have TL:DR

I saw a TL:DR on a one sentance comment that was longer than what it was summarising. SMH

And put it at the top! Not the bottom. I hate scrolling through a mountain of text just to see if the story is worth reading

The TL;DR should act similar to the abstract of a research paper

Literally takes a few seconds to scroll. Perhaps you could benefit from more adversity in your life?

That's completely opposite of everything.

That's what it stands for, "[T]oo [L]ong; [D]idn't [R]ead" TL;DR

A blonde asked me what IDK meant. I responded, "I don't know".
Blonde: Does anybody know!?

Sometimes if you phrase it weird it doesn't register in the brain 😂

I googled it but lost interest before the end

Slightly different angle here, I am reading a book on speed reading and one of the key points they unknowingly made was to find a tldr of anything you want to read quickly first. Having the context of how something ends let’s you more effectively focus on what’s important in getting there and what isn’t, so having that tldr can make it easier for people to read through a wall of text and find the pieces relevant to them.
It also said to read the spaces between words rather than the words themselves and your brain will just “process” the words very quickly, for anyone who is interested.

TL;DR*

I never just read the tldr, because the only way I find out there is one is when I read all the way to the end …

Also, TL:DR must start coming at the top, not the bottom.

Most TLDR are also TL, so, I DR.
