Yup it does, it ruins the surprize for the moment, so I don't enjoy the moment before the spoiler and during it.

Of course yes. cause when some like unexpected scene or surprising scene we know it from spoilers. We don't get the 'feel', cause we know it will happens.

I have mixed feelings on spoilers. When something is spoiled, I usually look forward to see how it will happen, and if that is weakly done compared to the excitement it might have brought were I not spoiled, then a spoiler ruined that excitement for me. However, I have more than once kept watching an anime because I was spoiled just right, giving me an incentive to keep watching to see that spoiler to its fruition.

So all in all, it depends on what kind of spoiler and what kind of show we're talking about.

I think it definitely cheats you out of the payoff. They can also linger in your mind and distract you throughout the series, making you ask questions like "Oh, is this where x dies?"

Akin to a silenced gun, the shot is still fired but with less of a bang.

I don't really mind spoilers, but I don't actively look for them either. Occasionally, I'll come across one by accident, and as long as it isn't a huge spoiler to a series I really love, I don't mind.

If you're busy asking yourself when someone will day, it might mean that whatever else that's going on in the anime isn't very interesting.
