To what extent do you care about spoilers?

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Whenever it came to the story of various forms of entertainment, such as comic books, tv shows, movies, video games etc., spoilers always seem to be an important thing for many people because they want the "raw" experience.

Me personally however, I was never one to really care about spoilers.
Rather, I am actually someone who checks the story of any medium first before going in, because it assures me that I am going to experience a story which I am interested in, reducing my chances of being dissapointed.

I guess it comes down to my somewhat impulsive personality as well, as I am the type of person who was spoiling important plot points of shows to myself, far before getting to experience them (such as with the 2012 tmnt series, where I tried to resist the urge to look at story leaks at first, but eventually gave in).

I wouldn't purposefully spoil anything for anyone though, even if I do think its kind of silly how spoilers can be so upsetting for some.

So, how do you feel about the issue overall?
