[X] Read it anyway because work is really boring that day
For a long textual post I'll either skip it or read it; content-free "tl;dr" might on occasion be useful for hinting to a particularly wordy poster that they should try in general to be less verbose, but in that situation someone else usually posts it anyway...
If it's a video, or some other highly media-intensive presentation, I might go as far as asking for a summary to give me an idea of how long it is, what it's about, and generally giving enough information to decide whether I want to watch it.
