Yeah I kinda wish youtube had rules about spoilers like gamefaqs lol. Everything from new pokeymans to final bosses get spoiled right in the thumbnail before the damn game is even out. It's like, I get that you want clicks and clout, but let us enjoy the fucking game for ourselves.

I was on YouTube the other day, and saw a thumbnail in my Recommended section for a video about the end of Bayonetta 3 which showed the Bayonettas of all three games together. Extremely annoying how little regard people have on there.

And the shitty thing is you don't even have to actively look it up.

You could be looking up a cooking recipe and still get spoiled because algorithm.

That's where playing story focused games as soon as they come out'll get you. They burst at the slightest prod from a youtuber.
Gameplay before story, folks.

There is no reason to put the spoiler in the title or thumbnail. Let people choose to click that video if they want. But don't force it on people who see it while browsing, what purpose does that serve?

Yeah there is, you gotta get them yt ad revenue points and the clicks. They also get free engagement from people who click the video to yell at them for spoiling it + infamy if they do it frequently enough. These people see a new thing they can put on the thumbnail and their brains - in the best DSP voices they can muster - yell "CONTENT."

Ugh, had this happen with Red Dead Redemption 2. Well in advance of the release I unsubcribed from any channel that might cover it, didn't look up anything related to it and still had it spoiled. I popped into YouTube and a video popped into my recommendation list from a creator I never heard of showing Aurther looking like death sitting in a Doctors chair, title Aurther gets diagnosed..

I was so fucking furious about that.

unrelated to youtube, but i also remember one the Game of Thrones topics here when that was still a thing, i guess the episodes must have leaked cause someone just wrote, without any spoiler tags or warning "i can't wait till next episode when that guy jumps out of a window"

i'm not gonna put the character name there but they did

Yeah it really sucks that YouTube does this for pretty much anything popular. I sub to some wrestling channels that usually do top 10 lists and after something major happens at a ppv or in real life that video will end up on my front page. Or with video game channels will do the same too. Its the same for movie channels and tv series I sub to also. Its hard to avoid. Its extra shitty if its before a release date like GOW though.

That'd be horrible. Having it spoiled would ruin the hilarity of that moment.

You mean the ninth game? Unless you count that Facebook text adventure game.
Why type the name of an old game if you mean a totally different game?

This is one reason why I don't like websites like youtube recommending me shit. Couple weeks ago, I got a nice One Piece spoiler on my front page. Motherfuckers.
