Heh. The person writing the Time article is obviously pro-spoiler. I find people who are often literally don't understand that it could be different for other people. It's not that spoilers will completely ruin something and make reading or watching pointless, but they will change the experience. There are films such as Sixth Sense and The Crying Game that I will never be able to experience the way I'd like to because I already know the big reveal. I have them on my Netflix queue. I would still like to see them. But I am disappointed that I won't be able to figure it out on my own or to just follow the story and see how it unfolds. A lot of people don't like surprises, any surprises. But I do. I find that to be the most enjoyable part of reading or watching something, that little "oh wow" or big "oh my GOD" when something unexpected happens. Spoilers take that away. They do spoil. There's no way for them not to.
