I know how Breaking Bad ends, I know most of what's going to happen in S.H.I.E.L.D. when it restarts here in the UK in a week or so, and the same with Walking Dead. I just saw some concept art for the upcoming Avengers movie which contains a major plot point, and I know which superheroes will be appearing in Batman vs. Superman. I am familiar with the plots of upcoming Arrow episodes, and I know what's coming in The Big Bang Theory. I knew how Battlestar Galactica ended long before I saw it. I know the date of The Doctor's regenerations months in advance, and who he'll turn into.
Some of this info is promotional stuff (the movies stuff, mainly) and other stuff is simply because shows broadcast at different times in different countries.
Someone said a year or so back "For those who are concerned about spoilers - perhaps the internet is not the best place for you". An odd suggestion that entire swathes of the planet not use modern communication and infrastructure.
But anyway -- putting aside the practicalities involved, the ease of difficulty of avoiding spoilers, or any random complaints about the epic unfairness of it all, I was curious. Do spoilers actually ruin stuff for you, do they make you more/less likely to watch something, do they make no difference to your enjoyment? Would you rather watch each episode/movie with no prior knowledge, or do you enjoy knowing in advance?
