@HiveHivemind Eu sempre tive a crença de que se spoiler estraga a coisa então ela não era tão boa assim em primeiro lugar. Inclusive lembro desse vídeo muito bom sobre o assunto, fizeram até umas pesquisas sobre https://t.co/7rg0N8tjqu
@chessirin https://t.co/ccf7SeD5kM Well, this video helped me to calm down a wee bit. It helped me to consider: "do spoiler RUIN good stories?" and... no, if the story is good, it will stay good. But there are stories were the twist is part of the fun!! So... hard to decide.
@Grey17Podcast https://t.co/e4xIvFjbpG Something I came across a while ago; JMS isn't trying to pull a fast one on anyone. It's all about the journey! (For some)

@The_GM_is_God Same. It still works. Here's why. https://t.co/xLCClcOvi8
@FrxRealMadrid watch this. it helped me somewhat, ideally I'd still want to go in spoiler free but yeah more lenient towards them now https://t.co/VyKD6beRB2

@lilian_orchard https://t.co/cdH6hN9575 This video is really good about how spoilers don’t affect the viewing experience.

Super Eyepatch Wolf made an insightful video on the topic too. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend a watch, it's only like 15 minutes. https://t.co/7f45WsNwkg
@infotranecon https://t.co/J0cBXvHNpb Oddly enough it seems that spoilers do not ruin good stories, so you got a point. Though I still avoid spoilers because I don't wanna be robbed of surprises when enjoying a story.
@praise_kenki Depende de la percepción que tengas, si bien te ayuda genial, pero este video me pareció interesante llegando a un punto más importante los spoileres completos https://t.co/NTl3bKPIbZ que toca temas interesantes si te interesan

@ProZypher Well...I do have a negative opinion on a lot of series, but in my case it's the ones I wasn't spoiled on that I'm more likely to have a negative opinion of. I actually haven't been spoiled on much despite not caring about it. Have you seen this video? https://t.co/JYUqeorefR
@ZenigameDirect Hey it's about the journey, not the destination! I've been spoiled for quite a few games too, yeah it can suck but on the other side it allows you to see the story from a different perspective. I really recommend that you watch this video: https://t.co/LzbXfSiCHL

Saw this the other day. It is an important video. Finding closure and going through the grief process are the same thing. Scishow Psych did a FANTASTIC job on this (and just when I needed to here it.) https://t.co/DlnhP17vB0
