social media & spoilers: let's discuss
Now that people rarely watch shows in real time, how offended are you by spoilers on facebook and/or twitter? Is there a difference for you? (ie-you expect spoilers on twitter, but not FB) What is your level of anger when you accidentally read a spoiler?
I don't watch Game of Thrones, but based on my FB feed blowing up, I'm guessing something big happened. Cut to a short time later, and I start seeing posts complaining about the spoilers that were posted (either by actual people or news/entertainment sites)
Thoughts?

Re: social media & spoilers: let's discuss
We don't live in a world where many people watch things in real time and I think it's shameful to take the surprise away from people who love the show. I'm talking any show, not just GoT.
I am more annoyed at the articles and posts from the actual shows, etc. there were some articles after the HIMYM finale and I like them on FB and I think they recently gave away a spoiler. This morning on yahoo one of the articles was about the game of throne shocker so I luckily didn't see more than a thumbnail. I'm not sure if even just the picture would have given it away. We don't have cable so we are always behind on all those shows.
I don't think news/entertainment sites should put anything at all in their main lines of a post...I've noticed that most seem to have something like "big night on game of thrones...click to read more spoilers!" or something like that, but every once in awhile they slip up.
As far as actual people, I try to be respectful and not post anything that gives something away in my actual post....BUT, I think people should always read comments to posts with great care, and that those are fair game.
And that was talking about facebook....I don't use twitter, but it seems like that is a much more "real time" thing that facebook and that spoilers should almost be expected there? correct me if I'm wrong.

Spoilers annoy me, but that's just how social media works. It's the nature of the beast to talk about live time, current events, etc. as they're happening. I don't think it's something that we should really have rules around.
If I have a show I don't want spoiled, then I don't go on FB or am careful about reading posts. I feel like if I don't want to be spoiled, then I need to be the one to make the effort to not be spoiled. I can't expect all of my friends to not talk about something just because I don't want to accidentally read a spoiler. Sure, people could be more thoughtful in what they post, but again, it's social media.

then go on to explain what was so exciting to you in a comment to yourself. Then you don't have to worry about upsetting a friend who had some other commitment and missed the live showing. For example, I didn't watch mad men last night. So I am not reading any news about mad men today. We will watch tonight. But when NPR was about to discuss the episode and warned me if I didn't watch to beware of spoilers I was happy for the warning and flipped off my radio for a couple minutes.
But to just throw out a huge spoiler on FB about what happened is sorta selfish. Anyone who watched already knows. Anyone who didn't either doesn't care or wants to watch and find out themselves.
