If your enjoyment of a work of art can be ruined by spoilers maybe that work of art isn't so good.

"if a joke is ruined by putting the punchline first, maybe that joke isn't so good"

yeah I have to agree for linear art (narrative) which is the only kind vulnerable to spoilers

It seems to me that if spoilers mattered no one would ever read the same book twice, and no one alive today would ever enjoy reading e.g. Hamlet because they already know the ending. But they do both

tl;dr that narrative enjoyment is hugely the “blackboard notes” you’re making, forming & rejecting models
