A skip button is definitely something that's needed. We players have no stats, obviously, but it's pretty clear that a considerable number of new people couldn't care less about the Second Dream and just want to dive into the content they saw in the promo. We hold the story sacred because of the way we experienced the release and the lead up all those years ago, but that experience is gone now. The dream doesn't hit anymore because the players aren't really wondering who they are, so the answer doesn't matter. They just don't have the lore they need to even care about it. Early content is mind numbing and rushing through nodes on early planets destroys retention.
There's two options: Line the game with main story quests in between Earth and Uranus OR let the player skip.
One of those is very easy to implement and lets a person who otherwise wouldn't even understand what is going in the quests at all just get past them.
However, Warframe devs should still proudly own the story and the universe they inherited, and every player should be highly encouraged to at the very least look at the story recap should they choose to skip everything. Make a narrated supercut of the main story beats for them to watch and prompt them when the skip is bought. Would you like to see a story recap? Yes/No.
I don't see this as an issue and wouldn't take the twitch chat reaction seriously at all because they are reactive and often just parrot what the chat is generally saying. People have been reasonable and civil in this thread and that's the people you are looking to hear out anyway.
