Not a spoiler - just a #savedyouaclick .

It's very common to say "spoiler" as a joke to perform a saved-you-a-click. It implies that, in some universe, it's actually fun to read clickbait articles and discover the answer, and that spoiling that process is, in fact, a spoiler.

As it turns out, that universe is not our universe.
