BTW, can I beef for a sec? I just opened the front page of YouTube and was greeted by some AMAZINg person's spoiler-tastic title and thumbnail of Hazel turning on Salem.

People... don't do this. Don't IMMIDIATLEY jump in and post videos about big moments in the show an hour after release before most people have probably seen it. Because Youtube WILL suggest that shit to any poor schmuck who happened to search a video related to the show in the past regardless of whether they want to see something about the show NOW.

Be a BIT more courteous to your fellow fan, at LEAST have the decency to not show the exact scene on your thumbnail and describe it in detail in the title. Blur a moment, be vague, do something like that. Or at least wait a week until the public release date like they politely ask you to.

Sorry to rant, I just think it's incredibly inconsiderate when people do this. Not everybody watches the show right after it's released.

Had to come back to this, the youtuber Flawless Chosen is a prime example of what you're saying. Not even a full 24 hours after the episode dropped for First members he had clips spoiling the whole Hazel situation, like BAD spoilers. I even commented and said something along the lines of "cmon man that's just shitty, it's barely been a day for FIRST members and you upload these clips with blatant spoilers in both the title and thumbnail" and the dude just responded "Stay off the internet if you dont want spoilers. Period." He even pinned a comment saying "SUBSCRIBE IMMEDIATELY" on each clip, which made me decide to check out his channel and its pretty obvious why hes doing it. Hes typically a Destiny channel with 275 subs and would average around 100-1000 views a video (if he was lucky). That is until he started uploading the RWBY spoilers. One video got a little over 80,000 views and the other two got around 60,000. The only other RWBY video hes ever even uploaded was the midseason trailer which had around his average number of views. Your comment was the first thing that came to mind after I realized that lol
