Indebted by Stiv's answer, are you
tapestry
My prefix is exploitative
tap - a device used to secretly intercept communication, or exploit resources - credit OP!
My suffix is judgemental
try - to put to test or on trial
My infix is problematic
pest - a nuisance
All I do is hang around
a decorative cloth hung on walls
See if you can figure out the title!
Tapestry is textile which sounds like 'text I'll' - found by Stiv.

3@Stiv - I put a prefix on you for a suffix, hope it doesn't make me a infix, or it'll be your answers for me. – Tom Jan 03 '20 at 09:57

I wonder whether the answer is:
CURTAIN
My prefix is exploitative
A CUR is a scoundrel or rascal, exploiting others for their own gain.
My suffix is judgemental
If something is IN, it is considered fashionable, usually at the expense of other things. Similarly, those in the 'IN-crowd' decide who is cool and who is not - it's all about judging others.
My infix is problematic
An RTA is a road traffic accident - a problem for anybody involved in one.
All I do is hang around
A curtain hangs around from a curtain rail, to cover a window or alcove.
As for the title:
This could be read as 'Some textile riddle for you' - a hint that the object we are looking for (a curtain) is made of fabric.

This is a great answer, but not quite the one I was looking for. Bonus points for figuring out the title though! – Tonkleton Jan 03 '20 at 18:25

Ok, so I know this isn't correct, but I couldn't resist. I think you are a:
DELINQUENT
My prefix is exploitative
DEL in Spanish means "of the", or "from the". When someone takes something "of the"/"from the" other, that's exploitative behavior.
My suffix is judgmental
An ENT would be judgmental of humans due to greater age and steadier judgment.
My infix is problematic
The Spanish INQUisition would be problematic for others of non-Catholic beliefs.
All I do is hang around
Instead of going to school!!!
Title: Some text I'll riddle for you
If a DELINQUENT goes to class, they might be texting some riddles to their friends instead of paying attention... or riddling their texts for their next text...
The primary reason I couldn't resist was...
The Inquisition can't be stopped :o

I wonder whether the answer is:
PROQUESTIONHATER
My prefix is exploitative
PRO : a pro is kind of exploitative at work
My suffix is judgemental
HATER : obviously
My infix is problematic
QUESTION : speaks for itself
All I do is hang around
Thats what the procrastinator only does basically.
As for the title:
"I'll" do it later
