      I could never really understand the logic behind the modern notion of "spoilers". For most stories, knowing the overall structure in advance helps you understand and appreciate its unfolding, catch foreboding details you would otherwise have missed, etc.

      I don't derive any particular joy from being surprised by unexpected turns of events. If a story has structure and meaning, then grasping the entire context is necessary to enjoy it. In fact, it used to be fairly common for stories to start with a description of their ending...

      Romeo and Juliet basically starts by telling you that two young folks will fall in love and it will be tragic and their deaths will bring peace between their two warring families. Shakespeare didn't think you could enjoy the story if you didn't know that context

          IMHO there is two or more kinds of spoilers. Those who attempt to mystery-based plots could do more damage on UX than others. BTW, I recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpjVgF5JDq8 …

          A spoiler for Romeo and Juliet would be to reveal the details of the mutual suicide, which would lessen the enjoyment of a first time viewer.

          Emotions are intensified with surprises. A rollercoaster where you can't see where you are going has more effect, doesn't it ? Even if you have the end at the beginning, a good author often lets you guess till the end

          Agatha Cristie and Georges Simenon don't start by telling you who the murderer is. Neither does Poe in the rue Morgue or others.

          We might know the ending or almost know if we're not told. But there is an element of enjoyment/ excitment that comes from staying rooted in the now of the narrative, in suspending the suspense.

          I think there was a study done where they found participants enjoyed movies a lot more when they knew how it ended than the participants who were kept in the dark. I'm not sure it's the case with all movies, but I can understand for some
