Would you still watch a series if you've had something spoiled?

Memory is so annoying, I wish I could delete some parts of it.

Spoilers are quite annoying, but despite that I would still watch the anime

For example: I know what will happen in the next season of Attack on Titan, I was spoiled and it's annoying, but I will still watch it

I would continue to watch the series. If someone described the plot, then I want to see the plot in action visually. If I saw random scenes of the series, then I want to know how those spoiled scenes occur. Spoilers are not secrets, but sneak previews or teasers for me.

Sure, if the series seems interesting. There were even times when a spoiler made me want to watch a show more

Yes I would, for me even if spoiled, if the scene or whatever is well done it will have the same impact even if I already know it was gonna happen.
I honestly think people overreact a bit with the whole spoiler thing but I get it.

Yeah i do it all the time, spoilers don't bother me. In most cases it's the spoilers that get me interested to watch the show.

I hate spoilers (for the most part) but I got spoiled 99% of the shows I've watched, it used to bother me, for example I've never watched Your Lie in April because of spoilers, but now it's not as annoying as it used to be, because if I truly enjoy the serie I'll still get a kick out of it (if the scene is well done).
For example I never read the JoJo manga but I know all the most important events that happens throughout the story, and yet it's still my favourite anime of all time, you could spoil me the entirety of part 9, I wouldn't care.

Sometimes spoilers click your interest and imo some animes are fine with spoilers for the purpose of baiting interest (except twists or super big reveal; please no) so it's nice being spoiled sometimes.

Depends on how huge is the spoiler. If the anime rely mainly on that twist, I probably won't watch it. But if it's something smaller, I wouldn't mind. And if I already following that anime and is attached to the characters, I will continue to watch it.

Yes.
I can separate the spoilers memory and treat it to somekind familiar memories or déjà vu.

That's why i am not annoyed or bothered at all getting spoiled.

Spoiler makes me want to read the source or know the story better.

Of course, if it seems interesting. The thing is spoiler is a stupid and baseless Internet legend/rumour created by basic Internet peoples who was sadly spread all over the world. Getting informations about or learning about events from a story (be it written, animated, filmed, spoken) will never actually "spoil" the fiction, except if it is some very specific info for a fiction belonging to some very specific genres (investigations relying on the "who did it" or "how will it be solved" and the other kind of mysteries) or else there would never be so many adaptations of the same old myths, tales or novels.

But if its not that "great" then I'll leave it
I often don't watch the anime if I have read the manga

Yes, sometimes I intentionally try to get spoilers as a last resort to keep me from dropping anime. But in general they are annoying.

I would still watch it, if it was interesting enough. But with shows that rely on surprise effect a lot, it would certainly affect my enjoyment. Usually I try to avoid any and all spoilers.

Of course. If the anime is interesting I don't care. It's a shame to know about a spoiler but it's also great to see how it happens. Also I think that if something is spoiled that doesn't mean everything is, a lot of things can happen in a story.

Wrong spoilers are worse than correct ones.You expect spoiler to happen, complete all the series and spoiler doesn't happen.

Yep, totally.
Especially when the spoiler is something like "x dies" but then I don't know how, when, why. Yeah, it sucks that the surprise is gone but there so much more to the issue lol

Yeah, I have a problem. Sometimes I spoil an anime or a series by myself because I'm dumb as fuck and I love searching on internet fanarts,which are full of spoilers,before I've even finished a series or an anime.In the worst case I just search on the wiki the entire plot and read it,just because I'm curious....I must be a masochist

It depends if the anime is interesting enough. I spoiled myself the ending of Death Note, but I still completed it because I really liked it. Sometimes spoilers actually makes me motivated to continue watching when i'm on a boring part.

It depends how much is spoiled. I’m probably never watching Deathnote or Yuri On Ice because I’ve had the entire shows spoiled in so many YouTube videos. But some spillers can be intriguing. A truly great story shouldn’t be ruined but one spoiler because the thrill of the story is wondering how the characters will get to a resolution and how these steps work.

Spoilers are quite annoying,sometimes it puts me off.But when watching the series i forget all aout the spoiler cause im too distracted by whats happening.Until something reminds me of it.

Spoilers shouldn't effect whether yo watch something or not,you should watch because you want to see the characters and their struggles and their way of life(well for me at least).

Well... I rewatched like half of the anime in my list over the years, so I can't really say I am annoyed by spoilers. I have the tendency of looking for spoilers anyway, especially when it comes to novels as I don't read. I mean, I know what would happen in the next 2 seasons of That Time I Reincarnated as a Slime, as I looked for spoilers since the manga had only 11 chapters (now it has 50). I am also one of those weird peoples, who can't resist not reading the end of the book before starting reading it from the beginning. So yeah... I guess I have immunity... it can tough get me less motivated to watch a series. For example, I am intending to watch SSSGrinder (if that's the title), but I already watched scenes on Youtube and a whole analysis of the main character, and that spoiled everything... it would probably feel less cool, as there is no plot twist now, but I should enjoy the execution just fine... Is like in life, you know... You are the main character of your own life. SPOILER ALERT: You will die at the end. But you still enjoy it (more or less), for it's content.

I'm extremely impatient, and almost always read spoilers. It's a bad habit of mine, but I still end up watching the series regardless.
