Sorry to spoil your “Game of Thrones” revenge-spoiler fantasy, but it doesn’t work

Salon.com: I have some bad news for the woman who’s taken it upon herself to torture her ex boyfriend by consistently spoiling “Game of Thrones” each week: it’s not working. Despite her gusto and creativity — if you’re unfamiliar with the story, she unblocks him from various social media platforms each week for just long enough to reveal spoilers, or texts him directly using someone else’s phone — science says her impulse for revenge isn’t actually being achieved. Spoiler alert: spoilers don’t really ruin stories.
