I actively enjoy spoiling stuff for myself, but you didn't need to spoiler tag because I didn't understand any of it anyways
this comment has been living rent free in my head since I've read it. Why do you like spoiling things for yourself?
Because I don't like uncertainty and drama. Most people watch sitcoms and enjoy people getting into awkward situations. I don't. It's genuinely worse than watching anything else for me. The very thing that makes stories impactful and good makes it hard for me to enjoy them. If I know the ending, I don't have the stress of not knowing the ending.
Sometimes I can endure it if I see value in a fresh perspective, but it makes most things more fun if I spoil it. If I enjoy it spoiled, I know it has rewatch value. If it sucks when you know the truth, that's all it had going for it.
