I'm known amongst my friends as being sensitive to them, but it's a bit complicated. There's many intricacies and factors that go into me shrugging it off or hating you forever. I live by a few rules that I saw in a youtube video several years back that focuses on how much time should pass before you're "allowed" to openly discuss something:
Singular episode - 1 week
Season Finale - 1 month
Series Finale - 1 year
Movie - 1 week after home release
Of course these are subjective and more personal than anything, but I use it to guide if I should be annoyed with somebody. If somebody mentions a big plot point in Daredevil Season 2, that's on me because I've had ample opportunity to watch it and that's the risk you run when you don't keep up.
As for social media I think if you're in my position, you have a personal obligation to do what you can to protect yourself. My twitter client has mutes out the wazoo because I don't like being the guy who polices what people say. To a degree if you get spoiled on The Walking Dead it's a little bit your fault for not taking the proper precautions.
Contrary to the beliefs of my friends, I don't actually get mad at accidental spoilers. The ones that drive me insane are when people are clearly out to just be pricks about it. To actively attempt to ruin somebody's enjoyment of something is messed up.
