Why do people join fan pages then complain about spoilers?

1 Answer

Answer :

Saw this happen in FB movie discussion groups. The fix was to open a sister group where spoilers are not allowed. Just general discussion no citing specific examples of any scene in the film. Once a member watches the film only then would he or she visit the group with spoilers…which at that point aren’t really spoilers I think. : )
