my curious ass be running after spoilers and then getting sad I got spoilered

not much to do since it's often my fault, on the rare occasions it aint I just suck it up and just move on

Occasionally I'll be slightly annoyed, but I've gotten so used to it, that I'm just like, whatever.

i relish spoilers. I drink them up like a fine wine sauce.

If something getting spoiled ahead of time ruins that thing for you that thing was a cheap novelty and not truly worth experiencing

That depends upon the type of spoiler.

To be spoiler free, you’d need to go on a black out. I mean yahoo posts “Tears of Kingdom” spoilers, tricks, and treats multiple times a day.

Lol what? Literally the exact opposite. If getting spoiled ruins it for you, it's because you miss out on all the well-written buildup and suspense and whatnot, but if you can still enjoy it after a spoiler, that means there was nothing substancial to enjoy in the first place.

if you knew that aroura wakes up at the end but not the whole how her prince Eric got to her thru all those thorny bushes then its ruined....

Totally backwards tbh
Otherwise the plot device of "spoiling" the end of the story at the beginning wouldn't work at all
In Tangled, if I told you Flynn Rider dies you would freak out at me and say spoiler! But the very beginning of the film establishes his death as a major plot point already. So does that mean Tangled is a failed story with no substance?
