I think spoiler etiquette died well over a decade at this point. I always go back to Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 9, The Rains of Castamere as the moment consideration of other people's enjoyment died.
GoT was an absolute cultural phenomenon, it was must see TV at its finest and this episode is arguably the most talked about to this day, well, the most discussed episode for GOOD REASONS, to this day. And what did a free, widely circulated newspaper in the UK do in the aftermath? They fucking ran an article discussing it the next day with no warning. They even ran a story afterwards about if they should have ran the story originally and talked about spoiler etiquette because people were so pissed. https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk...29249/amp/
I also think the way social media has got people wired to get their dopamine from likes and upvotes etc they HAVE to be first in the discussion to get it. It's almost like competitive media consumption.
