Spoiler culture, at its most extreme, also seems to go hand-in-hand with the view that plot is by far the most important aspect of a work. To me, though, to paraphrase Roger Ebert, it’s rarely what a work is about that matters most, but how it is about it.

Well, it all depends what one considers a spoiler. It seems to me that in general, sensitivity around even fairly minor plot developments has increased tremendously in the past 10-15 years.

Trying to walk this line is something I don't envy about professional critics.

Sometimes spoilers helped me to get into certain works I wasn't interested in at first, like Puella Magi Madoka Magica

To be fair, film culture has historically drawn a distinction between reviews and criticism. Those reading the former expect a viewing recommendation with few details, while the latter presumes familiarity with the material. Games, amazingly, has struggled to clear this hurdle.
