For sure. I'd rather read like I'm being told the story than having the outline described. For novels, it's also nearly impossible to avoid spoilers if speed reading.

When it comes to the "mini-max" principle, for me it's fine for scholarly introductions and boring prefaces.

As far as the internet, admittedly, I skim at least half the links I go to.
