I adore the internet. It’s like my best friend—always there to entertain, inform, and even help me shop on Amazon. So, when I miss the live airing of a show, it’s beyond frustrating. Not only do I have to wait for a time that works for me to catch up, but I also have to dodge my digital buddy until I’m all caught up. Why? Because the internet is a minefield of spoilers.
Nothing triggers my rage faster than scrolling through social media and coming across a post from some acquaintance—let’s call her Mandy Dullard—lamenting the fate of my favorite character. “NO! (Insert favorite character’s name) is gone!” Seriously, Mandy? Why do you have to ruin it for everyone?
Given how much time people spend on social media daily (and trust me, it’s a lot), it should be universally recognized that posting spoilers is just plain wrong. Writing “SPOILER ALERT” before spilling the beans on an entire season of a popular show doesn’t make it okay. I see your warning, but it’s too late—I’ve already read your spoiler. You’re being inconsiderate!
In this day and age, stumbling upon a spoiler online feels akin to walking into a coffee shop and having a random stranger run up and whisper, “Just so you know, Alex is secretly dating Jamie, and then Jamie pushes Alex off a cliff!” And just like that, your viewing experience is ruined.
Oh, and if you’re wondering, no, I didn’t just spoil an actual show; I made those names up, because I’m not a spoiler-happy jerk. However, this scenario occurs frequently, forcing people to withdraw from social media until they’ve had a chance to watch their shows. This is just unfair.
If you insist on discussing your favorite shows, do it in a private Facebook group or a message board. Or better yet, chat with friends in person. Go grab a coffee and share your feelings about that heart-wrenching scene in This Is Us! It’s called bonding, and it’s far more enjoyable without public spoilers.
When an episode of a certain show was leaked earlier this season, I stumbled upon a major spoiler that completely ruined one of the most intense moments before it aired. I couldn’t believe it! I wanted to confront that person and ask them what happened in their life to make them act this way.
Talking about plot twists online without considering others is just inconsiderate. I don’t care how excited you are or how shocking you found that character’s demise. Text your friends after confirming they’ve seen the episode first. Missing out on a show because you were at your kid’s recital only to get a spoiler text is a friendship-ending move.
So, let’s take a pledge together. Say it with me: Valar Nospoilerus. All must refrain from posting spoilers!
