Funnily enough i experienced the opposite. Before joining reddit I wouldn't read articles if they were too long, or books in general. This was mainly because the articles or books that i read didn't interest me, but after joining a number of subreddits i found stuff that i was interested in. Now i usually look forward to a 2000 word article, and I have a number of books that i wish to read on my bucket list. I do have to agree that sometimes i go to the comment section first to get a TL;DR of the article but at least now i do read more that before.
