By the way, there was a time where spoilers were considered normal and maybe even desirable. I remember reading an old book, I think it was by Jules Verne, where chapters started like this: “Chapter 5, in which the protagonist succeeds to overcome the obstacles, collect enough resources, and launch a rocket to the Moon”.
I have no idea whether all fiction books used to be like this, or only some of them, and whether it was universal, or only a specific time and place.

matter of taste for fiction; but objectively bad for technical writing
Yeah, we don’t want spoilers for how to quit Vim. :D
