SDB on spoiler policies

Steven replied to a tangent of mine, having to do with the desirable amount of spoilers at an anime blog. If you run a blog yourself, you better RTWT. Perhaps do so even if you don't. I'm only going to quote thoughts which I found applicable to Ani-nouto. But first, the context:

[I]n the end the goal of this is for everyone to have a good time. This is ultimately a review blog, and part of my "job" as a reviewer is to help my readers decide what they should watch, and help them enjoy the experience after they've chosen to watch.

With that in mind, we have:

Another point is that "revealing things" isn't necessarily the same as "spoiling". Giving away stuff that intrigues people and allows them to decide whether they might want to watch isn't the same as giving away stuff which would ruin the watching experience.

Why didn't I think of that?

I don't worry as much about revealing spoilers about series I think sucked, which I am actively trying to dissuade others from wasting time and money on.

This is just genius! I should do more of it myself.

The difference with Ani-nouto is, I don't review. I just talk out of my ass about things vaguely related to anime. So if you decide to watch something based on what you read here, my conscience remains at peace.
