Yeah, and now some people are going to avoid going to the site the rest of the day knowing that there is a spoiler on there. I don’t think advertisers like that very much.

The movie came out 4 days ago.
I’m recovering from surgery. I am not yet able to get out and see the movie. So imagine my disappointment in seeing the title, knowing the comic history of the Civil War storyline and eager to see if the movie follows a similar path. That is what has been taken away, only 3 days after the movie has come out. That is…
So you pissed a bunch of people off AND made less money?
The way that you are defending it makes it crystal clear that the article’s title was a deliberate attempt to drive page views by people upset about the embedded spoiler.
Fuck off. The world uses the words “SPOILER ALERT” when they are about to give one.
Samer, maybe you should grow up and learn from your co-workers at io9 and Kotaku. They avoid crap like this.
“Grow up?” Methinks Samer needs to take his own advice.
I follow this site daily so fuck off—spoilers are bullshit and you assholes knew what you were doing with the headline. So of course people object and what do you do? Double-down on the assholery, ‘natch. Fuck you, douche canoe.
“Grow up” – spoken like a true manbaby
Or you could, and get this, not post spoiler filled article titles for movies that came out THREE DAYS AGO and then repost it to the sports board.
Because I’m sure that’s the only person who’s going to care about spoilers for one of the most hyped movies of the year being published in the headlines on opening weekend - not like anybody else cares, right? I mean if they didn’t bother to go opening weekend, they clearly must not care.
Grow up, working for Gawker doesn’t automatically make you in the right.
Such a dick. It’s not even your article.
No, but you’re trying to attract readers. Pissing a bunch off by spoiling a movie less than a week after it’s release seems unwise. It’s not like the article is so important it couldn’t wait. Or that it would be hurt with a warning or less explicit title.
Remember when you were the cool kids who could afford to be pricks about everything? That time is long gone Burneko. You’d be wise to realize this before you go down with the rest of the Gawker media “empire”.
Hey, maybe if I wasn’t normally such a fan of the site that I follow it on Twitter and Facebook so that the spoiler title had an extra two chances to do its work, it wouldn’t be such a big deal. No reason to be a dick about it, particularly when the article doesn’t exist for any reason other than to be a spoiler.
Wow, seriously? This is some straight bullshit. Way to double down on being assholes. “Can’t afford to see a movie on opening weekend due to circumstances we don’t care about because we haven’t even considered them? Too bad, fuck you.” Good God you make me want to actually support Hogan.
The movie’s just 3 days old, in America at least. No one’s asking for the article to be edited - just the title.
Oh fuck off. You could have easily written that title without the spoiler. God this fucking website sucks now. I have no clue why I keep coming back.
