I'd rarely skim a fiction since it has some continuity, but articles are different. Article is supposed to provide information, and if the information density is low, I'll start skimming and looking for things that are actually new and interesting. Especially with the boom of click-baity internet magazines, I often skim a lot of the article. So keep in mind that an article is only worth writing as long as it contains new information, be it a fact or interesting opinion. Dragging out an article about something banal is a waste of times, there's enough of those already.
