If you are one of those people who refuse to look at social media for fear of SpoilerInstagram-Adjacent of Meta Discussions The app has a solution that hopes will keep you anyway. The new tool will allow people to mark the words in their posts as “spoiler”, preventing the eyeballs that have not yet seen, let’s say, a certain episode of The last of us By learning the gruesome fate of a certain main character.
Second The Hollywood journalistThe function “lets users hide text or images that vine a piece of entertainment (or anything that can be spoiled), simply by scoring it as a spoiler. When a user scores a spoiler, the text or image are blurred until anyone sees the post selects it and asks to know more.”
It seems similar to the Reddit function that allows users to hide the potentially spoiler text when they publish in forums that discuss recent TV programs, for example. So far, Threads is the only social media platform to offer this option; X and Bluesky, underlines Thr, do not have anti-spoiler tools in place.
In theory, it is a great idea. However, it is on the person who publishes to distribute the function, which means that individuals are up to deciding what they think is a spoiler and what is not, as well as what an acceptable “window” is to block an important turning point. For some, it could be a week; Others, it could be “as soon as the thing happens in my time zone”.
And really, there is a greater question at work here: what are you doing on social media at all If the spoilers are so important for you? Inevitably, someone will pour the beans, even if you are carefully trampling on only the threads, and you will only have you blamed for seeing everything they have written.
