Not sure I agree, particularly with the 'I don't want to hear about the story' part. I have a bit of a general chagrin with the 'no spoilers' obsession. Yeah, there may be works like Game of Thrones where the unpredictability is part of the appeal (I wouldn't know though, tbf, never watched or read it), but that's not universal. Usually when I go to the theater to watch a classic play, I try to make sure to read at least a short plot summary beforehand, ideally a longer analysis, to be sure I get everything that's going on and also have additional context. I'd wish for a more general appreciation of the fact that not every discussion of a story before you've consumed it needs to be a 'spoiler' - sometimes it can actually be an enhancer.
