I do wish that Youtubers and press in general would not disclose game cheats, how to's or game endings....

Sorry bud, it's part and parcel of gaming, and always has been. It's never been an issue to exercise self control and not partake in dissemination or viewing of such information - except for those who would rather blame others for their problems rather than accept personal responsibility.

LOL I once came across a review that spoiled the ending of a game, without any alert. This isn't about self control, unless you have psychic powers you really can't predict what a YouTuber is going to say in a video.

No one is being forced to watch a video or read an article.

Aren't how to's and game endings and such part of the primary reasons to actually watch game content on Youtube?

[cruzadar]

Oh I'm guilty of looking up how to vids ...but because I can I do...its an easy out . Always annoyed with myself after I see the answer. If it wasn't there it might make try harder. That's all really.

It's for me. Apart from getting actual gameplay footage sometimes.
If a game has multiple endings and you are forced to play through the whole game again to get one, yeah, I am watching a video of it.

So it's your own fault for reading an article that you didn't know contained a spoiler and that had no indication or warning? Like, dude, why do you even read an article or review if you are interested in a game?

Why?

Yes, I'm paying attention how much I have to look up to proceed -- but, as long as games like to not provide relevant information, I'll look it up on guides.

As for Youtube, if I liked a game, and I stumble onto a decent Let's Play, I'm happy to subscribe.

And yet people are always being told here that they should inform themselves by reading reviews and watching videos of games, rather then just buying them and relying on Steams refund system to get their money back if they don't like it.

Take this one step further. Deciding whether to buy a game must be a conscious choice ("read/watch reviews, bruh"). The next step is to make a conscious choice about what reviews to read/watch. If a journalist spoils parts of the game without any warning, don't read articles by this person anymore. You may even want to switch the outlet! Same for videos, if the video review you found is made by some jerk who thinks it's cool to not warn people before spoilers, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ review. Next time, pick reviews from better reviewers.

One pretty good way to get informed about games is to find a reviewer who does good reviews and who's into about the same genres are you are. I bought a couple games because one specific dude made videos about them.

So the solution is never reading/watching anything about a game, movie or book?

Nice, great idea.

Btw, you can also find many spoilers in game hubs, without people alerting about them.

That's a separate issue than how the OP is phrased. He doesn't want spoilers to be revealed at all. What you guys are talking about is lack of a warning that spoilers are contained in the content.

If someone wants to make a point that any piece of content that contains spoilers should have a clear warning on it, I'm all in favor of that. But if someone wants to make the point that spoilers should not be included in any content at all, then I certainly oppose that notion.

But at the end of the day, if someone if worried about inadvertently seeing a spoiler, then the choice is entirely up to them whether they want to risk viewing the content or not. Here's a funny story - somebody I used to game with always used to contact the content creator before viewing an article or video if there was no clear spoiler warning just to make sure the content contained no spoilers. It seemed to work out fairly well for him as I remember.
