I mean avoiding the "Next Week On..." previews doesn't even make any sense, as the entire purpose for their existence is for enticement, same thing with movie trailers. They give you a taste of the ice cream so you come back and buy the whole tub. That's the whole point. Ignoring them kind of gives the finger to people who went to the trouble of making them, I feel.

People are f*cking goofy if seeing 30 seconds of an hour-long show, or two minutes out of a 2-hour movie, "ruins" it for them. I honestly feel bad for them, if their life is so mundane that all of their kicks depend on seeing movies and TV shows "fresh", and a teaser trailer of all things can ruin the entire experience. That's entirely the opposite of why they're made. "I've seen too much, I can't get into it now"? That's a personal choice, and a poor one. You miss a lot of good things in life if you go about it that way.

I mean, whatever, it's their hang-up. Glad I don't know those people, we'd have absolutely nothing to talk about.

I don't exactly see these generally well-rounded, professional people being wrestling fans, so you're probably right on that one.

You made some pretty extreme, broad generalizations. It doesn't ruin anything for me (or anyone I know), but it is slightly annoying if you enjoy seeing things with a blank slate-- fresh set of eyes looking up at a massive 98' screen illuminated by a VERY EXPENSIVE 4K projector and sound system. Why would I need/want to be enticed to watch something if I already know I want to watch it? If I want to view it fresh, why not just avoid watching all of the available content, most of which is developed with really cool money shots and plot points? Afterall, it's pretty easy to change the channel, pause the stream, or not click on the Youtube video.

The teams that create trailers, TV spots, and promo marketing elements have far less time/resources to create something (often/hopefully) as creative and entertaining as the content they market. This isn't giving the finger to the people that make them-- I work with those people daily.

How exactly would one miss a lot of good things in life by turning off a show before promos or not watching a trailer on Youtube? Live, love, friends, family, art, good food and drink, travel, excellent music... or are you thinking of other good things in life.
