actually having a piece of media "spoiled" is not a big deal CMV

I remember reading a study that showed spoilers actually made media more enjoyable. Removes stresss
some people are masochists and enjoy the stress though
Found an article about the study https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/spoiler-alert-spoilers-make-you-enjoy-stories-more
I don't think it's right to make sweeping statements about humanity over some studies where a few hundred college students read a short story. Even in those studies, the difference in enjoyment between spoiled/not spoiled isn't much.
Like, it's really douchey to upset people and then point to a research paper as if that proves you know more about their feelings than them. Real reddit energy :smuglord:
My intention wasn't to make sweeping statements about humanity or to shame people for not enjoying spoilers, and I'm struggling to see where you got that. The thread was having a discussion about spoilers, I remembered that article from a while ago and thought it would be a good addition.
Tbh it's strikes me as rude to accuse me of being some smuglord for joining a chat in good faith. Chill out please.
Ah fair, I didn't mean to come off that way. It's just that I've seen those studies used as justification for being rude and I'm seeing a lot of that attitude in this thread. Y'know the "ackshually I'm scientifically making your life better by spoiling everything" kind of people.
I want to clarify that I'm not saying you do that, but that people do do that. Sorry egon
Ah I see, I left that comment in the thread while there was very few comments overall, so I didn't think much of it. I can see how my comments could come off in the other way, if there's suddenly a bunch arguing in that other way elsewhere in the thread.
Thank you for the apology.
