There is nothing more annoying than receiving spoilers for a show or movie you’ve been eagerly waiting to watch but haven’t had the time to see. It can instantly ruin the excitement and suspense you’ve been looking forward to and spoil the whole experience.
That is why protecting yourself from spoilers is almost as important as finding the time to watch the show itself. Here are a few tips on how to avoid spoilers for your favourite shows.
Become a Social Media Ninja:
Master the art of spoiler avoidance by changing your social media habits. Start by muting, unfollowing, or temporarily blocking any accounts that might spoil your favourite show. Yes, even those fan pages with cute memes and character gifs are just spoilers in disguise.
Develop Selective Hearing:
Sometimes spoilers happen in real life, not just online. Train yourself to zone out as soon as you hear, “Did you see the last episode?” It’s like unlocking a new superpower but instead of flying or invisibility, you become a master at avoiding unwanted movie talk. If a conversation is heading into spoiler territory, either change the subject or make a quick exit. Remember, nothing is more important than keeping the story intact.
Download the MyDStv or MyGOtv App for Live Streaming:
If you’re always on the go and can’t catch your favourite show in the comfort of your home, the MyDStv or MyGOtv app has you covered. With live streaming available, you can watch in real-time, no matter where you are. And if you miss the live airing, don’t worry, you can quickly catch up and stay ahead of spoilers. This is the perfect solution for those busy days when you need to stay up to date with the latest episodes, no matter how hectic life gets.
Set Reminders:
Timing is everything. If you’re always the last to watch new episodes, set reminders on your decoder or phone so you can catch the latest episodes right when they air. Most decoders, like DStv and GOtv, have handy reminder features that’ll alert you when your favourite series is about to start. This way, you can watch in real-time and be one of the first to experience the drama unfold.
Embrace the Hermit Life
The most foolproof method: Become a hermit until you’ve finished the series. You might need to dodge a few social events, avoid a few people, or put your phone on Do Not Disturb mode for a while, but nothing beats the bliss of enjoying your show without any spoilers; it will be worth it in the end.
