TL;DR, short for "too long; didn't read", is an expression used in Internet culture to say that some text being replied to has been ignored or as a signifier for a summary of an online post or news article. It originates in Internet slang, where it is often used in quoted responses to indicate parts of the text skipped as too lengthy.
The abbreviation is based on the principle that, if the writer does not invest the time to convey their message concisely, the reader is justified not investing the time to read it. Alternately, it might mean that there is insufficient material of value or interest to justify the time required to read it.
The phrase dates back to at least 2003, and was added to the Oxford Dictionaries Online in 2013.
On reddit, tldr is the subreddit serving as the site's daily recap. Long posts on reddit are also frequently followed or preceded by a summary, consisting of a sentence or brief paragraph, that is prefixed by the phrase "TL;DR", and the abbreviation is sometimes used as a noun denoting such a summary, as in "Please include a TL;DR along with your post".

The abuse of children is a terrible thing. We don't need to mislead people with questionable statistics to make it seem worse than it is, nor to try to blame any particular group for political means. What we do need are better data gathering tools and better, more refined, definitions of abuse that include both genders equally to stop children falling between the cracks so we can wipe out child abuse for good.

Yeah, nah, meninists aren't a thing (it's satire), they didn't 'hijack' anything and they didn't invent their own #dictionarygate, that was there long before you came along with your #redefinewomen. Believe it or not, you're not the centre of the world. I just demonstrated why #redefinewomen is stupid and many people talked about it and agreed it was stupid. You're welcome for the exposure. Let's just hope there truly is no such thing as 'bad publicity' eh? Please do not contact anyone featured in this video.

More information than you ever wanted about genital cutting! Cutting someone else's genitals without consent is not a good idea outside of reasons of valid medical intervention. It is not a women's issue, it is not a men's issue, it is a people issue and must be approached as such. Stop gendering ungendered problems and stop spreading misinformation and relying on knee jerk emotional propaganda to manipulate people into ignoring the real issue.

This mini series [After Hours] used to be on my second (backup) channel as an excuse to actually use that channel and to add some extra after thoughts on videos that get left on the cutting room floor, thoughts that happen after the event or to follow up on some of the more interesting comments left on the video. It was originally separated from the main channel because I thought it might be annoying for people to get extra content on basically the same thing they watched before. However, after some consideration the content isn't different enough from the main channel content to be worth its own dedicated channel so I'm transferring it to the main channel. Original description: Some after thoughts about the uses of gynocentrism in advertising and something particularly interesting abo...

You used to say you love me so
But lately girl I just don't know
Lyin here in so much doubt
You don't come home all night
What's that about?
Your friends provide your alibis
Swear up and down but I don't buy it
Have you been out doin me wrong
I gotta know what's been goin on
Chorus:
Tell me true girl
Tell me true
Is your love as strong as mine
Tell me true now
Tell me true
I gotta know, have you been lyin
Tell me true
You say you're not the cheatin kind
That it's just me and my suspicious mind
But somethin way down deep inside
Keep given me the feelin that you lied
Ain't got no proof, no evidence
But your excuses don't make no sense
I know you like I know myself
And somethin tells me there's someone else
Chorus:
Tell me true girl
Tell me true
Is your love as strong as mine
Tell me true now
Tell me true
I gotta know, have you been lyin
Tell me true
I heard that you been goin round
Draggin my good name all over town
Chorus:
Tell me true girl
Tell me true
Is your love as strong as mine
Tell me true now
Tell me true
I gotta know, have you been lyin
