It's just common sense, I think

That's a very passive aggressive way to put it. The story is great and people who enjoyed it feel like the people who skipped it missed out on something great.

Discussion on this subject is hard however. Someone who didn't skip the story has an informed opinion on whether they are glad they didn't skip it or not. Someone who skipped it can't have an informed opinion about whether or not they're glad they skipped it because they genuinely don't know what they missed. This makes discussion of this subject a little one sided. I guess the people most qualified to give a negative review are those who saw it through but hated it in the end. But admittedly I haven't come across too many people like that yet.
