I’ve shirked reading all the sequences end to end, instead focused on the most popular ideas transmitted by Internet cultural osmosis.
I don’t expect to convince you, but (1) the sequences exist in the book form, free to download, which has the advantage that it is a little more polished, linear, and without the distraction of comments, but still quite long, however (2) when I once actually measured how many pages of text I read on an average day of online browsing, I got the impression that the sequences are actually not as long as they seem. I mean, reading a 1000 pages long book seems like a big deal, but sometimes I spend an afternoon reading hundred web pages, some of them several pages long, so I actually process the same amount of text in a week.
Ideally, every article would have its own page which could be heavily tagged up with metadata such a themes, importance, length, quality, author and such.
That would be an insane amount of work. Perhaps doing this only for articles with karma 50 and more would be less insane, but still a lot of work.

Not at all. Once you’re familiar with syntax, it’s far less work than creating e.g. an original article summary for instance.
