This just happened in the GoT as well, completely harmless information for a show watcher that someone has to point to and go OMFG THAT IS A SPOILER, IT IS A GIANT SPOILER!! Why is it a spoiler? Well because --- oh... wait... ya I guess it only is if I explain it.

Full stop.
I'm assuming you're referencing my recent post in the GoT thread, although I'm not computing the hyperbole.

Some people do not, in any way, want even something as minuscule as this to spoil the experience. I appreciate when someone tells me to avoid a certain source to avoid spoilers because I have had some major aspects of shows spoiled for me and it SUCKS! In many cases I've heeded warnings to ensure I don't have it ruined for me, and when I go back in retrospect I'm very glad I did.

I try to give the same courtesy because I can empathize. I also try to choose my words carefully so as to be a caution, but not a spoil.

The "Honest Trailers" series don't really 'do it' for me anyway, but I will avoid watching it just in case.
