If so, my answer to to this question is a definite, Never!

This is also one of the reason why i read really few ongoing serie, i hate the feeling when i wait months or years for a manga to finish and the manga get axed or get an incomplete ending.
With other kind of media, it's quite rare i do it though.

Never if i am reading/watching/playing something i actually like but i tend to jump to the most recent chapter or to the ending of a film/show/game (on youtube) if i don´t. Just to see where all the misery or wasted time lead to and i further tend to be correct how such end.
I occasionally look up if i was correct on a theory, the Arkham Knight and Venom Snake (WTF was he about?) are recent examples, before i even begin but i am only taking about the theory itself and not the overall story so i close the tab immediately after getting my answer.
I lastly don´t think that spoilers are as game breaking as people think but they are still bad manner and ultimate unacceptable. I don´t use/hate social media and i deliberately stay away from known offenders when something that i am excited about is coming out.
A lot of people look up the ending or start with/jump to the epilogue to deflate all the suspense out of a narrative. Start asking people you know and you will soon see what i mean.

Other than that, never. Granted, non of the manga I read are either not completely translated or I don't own all the volumes, so I don't have an end to skip to.

Movies are sometimes different, because of crappy trailers that sometimes spoil everything for me. If they show me the best parts of the movie in the trailer, its almost a bore to go watch it since there are no surprises. Either that or its so obvious what the story is going to be that again why bother since they distilled the whole thing down into a 2minute trailer. So I'm like "got it, next". But I like it if an author/mangaka surprises me in a story, some people don't and they like to know what to expect which is fine but like I said that's not me.

I've also skipped to the end for series that I started off liking well enough, but spiraled down to mediocrity. Spoilers don't bother me that much, unless it's a series I'm obsessed with. I mostly read for the journey itself, but if said journey proves tedious I'll just skip right to the finish line and move on.

Yeah, if I know I'm never going to read something or finish whatever, I might go and find out the end. So maybe I should have put down seldom, but really I can count on one hand the number of times I've skipped to the end for all the things I've read/watched/played etc.

When I'm actually reading the series, I never skipped to the end.

take shield hero, i plan to buy it all if the ending is good, if its not, i'll likely stop a little after crap hits the fan with one of the characters, however, if the novel is changed from what its original end was in a satisfactory way (the original end was a gigantic middle finger to everyone who read it), i don't need a happy end, just satisfactory, i'm buying every volume that comes out.
there are manga i actively quit reading because of endings and ways characters acted, namely suzuka and i blacklisted the author because of decisions he made, which, let's be honest, was the right decision that's reinforced with every new thing they do.

It reminds me that I know someone that always reads the end of detective novels before starting to read from the beginning. I don't see the point. ^^'

I do sometimes check online for spoilers.
And then regret doing so. lol. That's how I ruined Aria for myself. x3

But if a series is still publishing and has too many chapters like Hajime No Ippo, then I skip to latest published chapter sometimes to see where the story has progressed to
