This has been something I've observed lately and I'm not sure how many people can relate. I also put this in "Off Topic" because it covers, games, movies, tv and even books and comics
Whenever a new, highly anticipated piece of media is released, everyone on the internet will brazenly talk about spoiler content without warning, for all to see, regardless of who hasn't seen or played it yet. It was a huge problem when The Last of Us Part II was released and it even extends to the second season of the HBO show.
The most recent example for me was with Andor season 2. They dropped the first 3 episodes on day one but I only had time to watch 2. When I was casually scrolling through my phone the next day, I copped so many spoilers about the third episode just from Reddit and Twitter's home page. Even though the episodes only came out the night before, people were just posting about massively important developments that most people would like to find out from the show itself, and not from some thoughtless sacks of shit on the internet
It mostly happens with big, tent pole franchises, like Marvel or Star Wars. If you don't want anything spoiled, you really GOTTA see it on opening day. Deadpool & Wolverine was the most excited I'd been for an MCU movie in a while and I'm very glad I caught it on opening night, because people were already making memes and posts about all the cameo's and interesting story beats the very next day.
Has anyone else felt really frustrated about this kind of thing recently?
