It’s one thing if you go on YouTube and look up the thing you don’t want to see . I can understand if you search up the movie /game and see thumbnails, but when you’re looking at freaking cooking videos !!????? Seriously !!????

Person in video “ you want to put the seasoning on there and just let it roast ... and when I say roast ... inserts random clip of a final boss from a new game , hidden secret boss from a new game , or the ending to some new movie .

Why ? ..... why ??????? It’s so random !
A cooking video !!???? Come on man ....

Even when I talk to actual friends I have via IRL ( note that it’s the same even for new people I meet ) the conversation starts like :

Them : “ Hey have you played/seen the new redacted “ ?

Me: “no I haven’t got to it yet no spoilers please “.

I KID YOU NOT !!!!!

Them( mainly from new strangers as well ) :
“ Ok well I was just going to say this one thing “

Me: “No that’s ok I don’t want to know anything until I get to it “

Them: “ Ok ......... it’s not a spoiler but “

Me: “ I don’t want to know anything I’m ok just don’t “

Them: long dramatic pause “ REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED “

Spoiled !

Wtf ???? It’s like people just can’t shut up and it’s just pure insanity to me .... why do people Insist on spoiling things when you specifically asked them not to ?!??

Wait until you find out everybody dies at the end.

Always be the first to play games and watch movies, and you'll be the one doing the spoiling

They are lonely and they want to share. You are the most approachable person in their environment. That is why they say it to you. If you were more disagreeable and had higher social status than they, they would not share these things with you and instead find someone else. But they wouldn't play co-op game with you either.

Also.
This is important.

Playing a game first means playing through all the bugs. Watching every movie first means watching a lot of bad movies, because good movies are rare. Therefore, a person gets to choose between eating ♥♥♥♥ and a spoiled cake.

...to say it bluntly, some people are just jerks

You know what I'm feeling evil, so let me spoil some games that OP have in their library that still only played for a few hours. No worries, the spoiler tag is still there.

1. In warframe lotus is actually a space monstrosity called sentient and hear real name is natah
2. In valkyria chronicles 4 there's a true ending if you view a sub event in chapter 13 and complete the last mission again.
3. hellblade senua sacrifice is basically you on drugs (the whole thing is a hallucination)

It's pretty surprising how people think there's a time limit on spoilers. I mean yeah, you've had a chance to experience it I guess, but there is too much media to consume within the course of a given life, even if you become a network executive's wet dream and dedicate your life to viewing it all, so it's pretty safe to assume there are people who've put off certain must have experiences until a later date. Moreover, not everybody was alive or old enough to experience the debut for many of the classics.

I get it. You want to discuss your favorite show, especially when something reminds you of it, but it'd just be kinda nice if you, y'know, used the spoiler tags and mentioned what was being spoiled outside of them.

Y'know, kinda like this:

Aeris dying at the end of disc 1 in Final Fantasy Ⅶ was an event both saddened me and took me by surprise, and a very memorable but is an overrated as a tragic moment in Final Fantasy stories. In Final Fantasy Ⅳ, Tellah's death is much more striking. Granted, most of the party members seem to die in that game, but Tellah is the only one who genuinely croaked (frog spell notwithstanding), and the fact that it was the direct result of his own thirst for vengeance being his undoing sends a strong moral message, especially since his sacrifice ended up being in vain.

Oh, speaking of which, deaths are not the only kind of spoilers people!

To be fair, if you're the sort of person who doesn't like spoilers you probably shouldn't be reading a review in the first place since that's kinda the place you are most likely to encounter them, since people will highlight moments to explain what they like or dislike about a piece of entertainment. Reviews aren't going to save you very often.

Scores often end up being meaningless without context too. I mean, how many times can you see the "Very Positive" label on steam until it becomes kinda meaningless?

Plot twist: It tasted awful; the ingredients were spoilt.

I used to have a friend who would spoil movies just to be a jerk. We aren't friends anymore fortunately.

I don't blame you... the only reason someone would PURPOSELY do this is just to ruin it for someone else . You have to be pretty sad and miserable with nothing else better to do in your life than to try and steal joy away from others by ruining something. That " friend " was never your friend to begin with.
