My week got wrecked by a spoiler in a YouTube thumbnail
I was avoiding all talk about the new Jujutsu Kaisen episode, but a clip channel put a huge character death right in their video title. It took the wind out of the whole viewing for me. Does anyone else think major plot points should be kept out of thumbnails for at least a few days?

The "onus" argument ignores how YouTube's algorithm works. Those spoiler thumbnails get pushed to everyone's homepage, not just subscribers. Saying to just log off ignores how the internet actually works for most people now.

Honestly, the "few days" thing is tough. Those channels live on clicks and need to post fast to get them. It sucks, but the onus is kinda on us to avoid those parts of the internet until we watch. I just stay off YouTube and socials completely if I'm behind on a show.
