Probably the WORST spoiler I ever got was from the official Game of Thrones fb page! I was an episode or two behind and suddenly my fb feed had a post about [major character] dying in the season finale!
On a positive note, that incident inspired me to read the books in order to minimize future spoilers, so lemonade was made 🤷
When I was on reddit r/grimdank spoiled the madolorian for me. Why is a 40k subreddit spoiling a Star Wars series! The episode just came out like for a day.
Yeah, the spoiler for GoT was ON THE DAY of the episode. Like you could probably be almost completely caught up, log on fb before watching the newest episode and have it spoiled.
Sometimes I wish I had read a spoiler so bad that I lost all interest in continuing the show. The eventual disappointment I would have been saved from…
Same thing for me from a promoted link on Facebook from some magazine reviewing the show. Big episode happens, I don’t watch it that night because I’m busy but I’m planning to watch it the next night. Promoted headline: “Ten Ways [Character who was killed in that episode] Could Come Back From The Dead Next Season.” Aw, fuck me!
Even better you mention you started it to someone “Oh isn’t bad how Cheese Goblin dies”

the walking dead had that happen by spoiling a major character death about 2 hours BEFORE it premiered

“My favorite character is X”
everyone grimaces and the conversation goes cold
Happened to me with a major TV show. SIL said “Oh, I didn’t know so-and-so is still alive.”
