Lately, ive pretty much decided to avoid spoilers for movies/tv shows/wrestling, and i've found it much more entertaining (i do read spoilers for stuff i have no intention of watching), as im not waiting for a certain moment to happen.

For 99% of everything I watch, yes. I want to see the story unfold in front of me instead of reading a synopsis online then watching it later. Plus the things that really surprise you only occur when you don't know about them beforehand.
The only thing I'll read spoilers for is WWE. Mainly because I don't watch the whole shows since I don't care for their storylines and am more interested in catching a really cool match or the rare great promo/segment.

The only thing I ever want real spoilers for is WWE, and that isn't even all the time.
I seriously never got the appeal of knowing everything about what you're about to watch before you watch it.

Yes, living in Australia where they always get things a lot later then the rest of the world in most cases. It can be annoying trying to avoid spoilers.

I try, I really do.
It's hard to avoid spoilers now. Damn Facebook, twitter (though I don't use it), yahoo front page, etc.

It depends if you're going to watch it or not. For instance, I look at Smackdown spoilers because odds are, I'm not going to watch it unless something major happens. But take the Royal Rumble. I've been avoiding spoilers for that since I want to be surprised at what happens. |

I try to avoid it. But sometimes it's unavoidable. Especially in Australia where movies, tv shows and video games are always delayed.

It all depends. If it is something I am a fence on seeing, I check out spoilers and reviews to help see if I will invest the time to see/listen to it.

Don't care. If a movie pulls me in, then it doesn't matter that I've heard what an oncoming twist will be, it'll still get to me.
There's a difference between reading on a page "Robert Shaw gets eaten by a shark" and actually seeing it happen.

When it comes to films I want to see I'll basically ignore facebook on the week of it's release.
Really had to avoid spoiling The Dark Knight Rises for myself last year, it was hell. Was worth it in the end though.

I only read spoilers on Smackdown or Main Event, or Superstars. I also dont' get why some video games or TV shows have to change the ending because the ending was leaked out like The Sopranos. Even if the spoilers are online, we choose not to read them because we don't want to get spoiled!!!!!!! It's like people who didn't see The Dark Knight Rises on the opening weekend but will see it soon, they tend to avoid any batman discussions on the internet hoping not to get it spoiled.

Same here, if it doesn't involve something I'm watching, spoilers don't bother me. If I don't want to watch this week's SmackDown, I'll read them. |

No. I actively seek them out. I have very little time for entertainment, so I like to be able to get an idea of whether I'm likely to enjoy something before I drop a couple of hours on it.

It's not easy avoiding spoilers for a current show you're a little late to. I've just finished Season 2 of The Walking Dead but I already know a lot about Season 3.

Lately, I'm avoiding them a lot more than I used to, even to the point now that I don't read/listen to reviews of movies I intend on seeing soon.

For me personally it's always depended on the movie, the show, or the video game. In terms of film if it's one of those anticipated films that truly bring about greatness, then yes I avoid spoilers and being an employee at a theatre, I will avoid going into the auditorium in hopes of not spoiling myself.
I did it with The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Skyfall, and The Amazing Spider-Man.
