They do ruin the element of surprise, but I'm not sure how important it is now.

A lot of great thrillers like Se7en are still amazing now even though I know all the answers, and surprising the audience IS a big deal in thrillers. A good story is one we can re-experience a few times, one that we'll keep in our heads. Surprise is a momentary feeling.

So spoilers ruin a bit of fun, but if a show is ruined because of spoilers then it means it had nothing but the element of surprise.

I always spoil myself because I'm too curious, anxious, sometimes spoilers give me the motivation to keep watching the show (or reasons to stop watching it)

Nope never has i don't think it ever will.

i especially laugh at the its ruined now i can't watch it people. because i highly doubt they never re-watch a show in their entire life.

Yes, it does... stories that had been "spoiled" to me are less moving, less thought provoking, and less successful at drawing me (the reader/viewer) into a narrative world thus ruining my immersive experience. In fact, the effects of story spoilers for me are consistently negative… that is why I do not like to do what I do not like to be done to me and always avoid telling a spoiler when ask questions about the media or if I was requested by the one asking the question I message her/him or if the social network doesn’t have a message system I use the spoiler tools provided by the site.

I really hate spoilers, and i try as best as i can to avoid spoilers cuz when i know the spoiler, then the story won't be good anymor (for me)

Like i was trying to follow Tokyo Ghoul and Shingeki no Kyojin Manga, and then some of my friends spoiler the stories, A LOT. And then i stopped reading

well, for me story is the main reason i watch Anime or read the manga, when i already know the story even it's not a lot, especially from spoilers, it won't be as good as i expected, that's it
