I don't like them, I want to find out on my own what happens. Unless it's a series I don't care much for and discountinued reading, then I'm ok with reading or hearing about them. Other than that, I'm careful not to read any.

For series with nasty cliffhangers, especially with series I'm not much of a fan of, spoilers all the way. Hell, my crappy Japanese is due in large part to my efforts to read raws of such irritating series. For the light and silly stuff, spoilers suck.

I only seek them out only when I can't control my urges. I've used spoilers as reasons on whether or not I drop a series, but only if it's so transparent that reading any further would be pointless.

Whenever I want to read a new book, I read the last page and let that decide for me. If a series is able to live up to it's expectations, it should intrigue me enough to find out how such an outcome came about.

It's all about the journey, not the destination. 🤨

unfortunately for me, I like spoilers. I do actually scour the entire internet for them. 🙄 I think I get more hyped up about a story/series if I quite know how it's going because I have to really read the story to see it for myself.

(did I actually made any sense? 😕 )

I don't mind spoilers, because I'll want to form my own opinion about whatever it is that's being revealed after I've personally experienced it.

Spoilers suck. I never read spoilers, and I never look ahead.
I won't read anything without having read it from the beginning, and I won't watch anything without having seen it from the beginning. I don't read or watch sequels without having read/seen the prequel (unless the sequel was released first)--that goes for video games too; I play them all in order. I want to read/see things in the proper order, as they were meant to be read/seen. It's just no fun any other way, you know? I also don't like do watch trailers/commercials for movies/games/tv shows, etc. because they give away too much stuff. I may formulate theories, but I don't talk about them with other people; (the reason for this is too complicated to mention). Also, resisting spoilers is easy for me, because I can't stand them--I can't imagine what it would be like not to be able to resist them... that would be so weird.

2nd option..
there are moments(most of the time) i dont want spoilers, but there r exceptions, when i need to know, like i cant wait, or sometimes i just dont care if i know....
so 3rd option fits too

about the last one, i like sometimes to imagine whats going to happen... maybe bcz the story is kinda predictible... but discussing, even if i do it sometimes(rarely), i feel stupid after seeing if what i said didnt happen, cz u make ur whole idea, a new world, and then Bam! u idiot it didnt happen.. 🤣

omg this will never work for me... xD
when u say the last line, u mean the important part of a story is not actually the end?
all parts are important, but what i care about the most is the end, the story can be awesomely good, but if the end is ok, then the whole story was meh ....

I don't mind them now. There are times when I searched for raws and try to interpret what the hell is happening basing on the images.

I'm okay with spoilers. It's not like the end of the world is someone tells me the end. I'll read it to see how it got to the end.
For example, I didn't read the last book of Harry Potter yet and my sister spoiled the end for me. It didn't discourage me to read the end. I still want to know what happened.

As for the poll, I voted the second choice. I only read enough spoilers to satisfy the urge of knowing what happens next. I don't read what happens at the end.

I'm impatient. And controlling urges is difficult for me. So yeah, I've more times than any went ahead and read a spoiler. Or asked someone to tell me what happened. I'm all bout skipping to the good parts and coming back for the details.

I am the type who mostly likes to know the ending, cause then I enjoy it more, otherwise I just read really quickly just to know the end, not noticing anything.

It's kind of cheesy, but I'm one of those guys who is more about the journey rather than the destination. I don't really care about spoilers since knowing what happens is different than experiencing it myself. Unless, of course, the spoiler happens to be of relatively epic proportions.

I personally love spoilers.... That's the reason I click on them... If people don't they shouldn't press it.
