How to Avoid a Spoiler

A spoiler is a piece of media information. It may be a movie, book, television show, video game, software or other form of entertainment. Typically, a spoiler reveals a key surprise in the story or gives an insight into the play or solves a puzzle.

The term "spoiler" was first credited to the Internet, when users began to post spoilers of their favorite movies and TV shows on message boards and newsgroups. In the early days of the Internet, spoilers were often preceded by an attribution or warning.

Today, spoilers can be found in almost any form of digital content. Whether it's an advanced notice about a new operating system or a plot revealing piece of videogame or movie content, a spoiler is always on the horizon.

There are two primary methods for hiding a spoiler from view: putting a filter in your browser, or using an application on your mobile device. Choosing the right tool is an important decision. Some applications are designed to prevent readers from viewing spoilers, while others are designed to make it easier for you to read the spoiler-free material.

There are several websites and applications that do the spoiler thing for you. If you're a fan of a particular television series or movie, for example, you might want to check out a website like Tvshowtime.com, which has a Chrome extension that blocks social media posts about episodes of your favorite shows.

The best way to avoid the spoiler is to not let it happen to you. For example, some users create a blacklist for their social networks, or avoid participating in conversations on public websites altogether.
