Added spoiler tag for those of us that have not yet watched Chernobyl.

Thank you, comrade! Also, hello Odd 👋had no idea you were a mod here.
Hello. Good cat and mouse games with our squads yesterday!!
Do they REALLY need a spoiler tag? Considering knowing what happened?
Do you REALLY care if there is a spoiler tag? Is it REALLY going to affect your life? Does it bother you that much? Its just general courtesy to people that haven't yet watched the series.
Edit: Although we know about of the history of the reactor, if you haven't seen the series then you don't know how any of the scenes or events are portrayed in the series. This isn't a clip from a news stream.
Spoiler for real-life events?
Its not a news article, its a show on TV based on real events. With actors, cinematography, portrayals of how the director may have envisioned something happening. Its just general courtesy to people that haven't yet watched the series. Sorry if a spoiler alert has wrecked you day.
It hasn't wrecked my day, it's just silly, it's not a spoiler, it's like saying SPOILER: TITANIC SINKS.
Thats like saying if a movie about WW2 came out, and you hadn't seen it yet, that its totally ok that people post any and all clips of the movie, even the ending. There is a vast difference between real life events and how they are portrayed by actors, directors and cinematographers in a movie or television series. Of course you wouldn't spoiler a news reel of an event happening. But its generally agreed that you spoiler clips from recent movies and shows on Reddit, whether or not they are real events or not. Its silly I have to explain this. I invite you to go read and understand the definition of spoiler.
Holy shit chill, I mean yes I thought the same as you did, but as I was saying, we know what happened, and I don't think a spoiler tag is really necessary, but yes, maybe the scenes could be a "spoiler" since they haven't watched those clips.
EDIT: I know it doesn't affect my life, but is it really necesarry?
Based on what you said you understand why it's spoilered. Because people haven't seen the series yet. It's just respectful, simple as that.
Is it necessary for you to keep asking why there is a spoiler on a single post on a single sub on a single day? Obviously people agree with it being marked as spoiler.
HBO Chernobyl is a historical drama television miniseries (per Wiki). So it's assumed people know what it is about, but portrayed by actors in director's vision of the minor details (cause they can't really change major details unless explicitly stating what they changed, which they did for several things after some episodes).
WW2 movies I've seen at least weren't made to be absolutely historically accurate but just tell a story (based on real events or not) in the WW2 setting. Sure I wouldn't want Saving Private Ryan spoiled, but that's not even a true story, just based on a similar case from WW2.
Edit: Would you spoiler tag Omaha beach landing right after Saving Private Ryan came out? It's silly, we can argue semantics till tomorrow, Chernobyl reactor 4 exploding on screen is not a spoiler.
I absolutely would mark things as spoilers if Saving Private Ryan just came out and people were posting clips of it.
A spoiler by definition is
"information about the plot of a motion picture or TV program that can spoil a viewer's sense of surprise or suspense"
Since some people have not seen the series then the scenes themselves are a surprise. Not just the reactor exploding, but even the interactions of the scene with the characters, as well as the set itself..
I fail to believe you can't comprehend this, come on.
This is like watching Valkyrie and being surprised that Hitler wasn't assassinated.
If that movie was just released last week and people were posting scenes from it, we would mark it as spoiler alert.

I think all of the posts should have spoiler tags, let those clicky fingers get some exercise.

You're a spoiler.
You're a spoiler.
Your Mom's a spoiler
Your Mom's a spoiler
Touche
Yeah and I think it's funny that well-known historical events are treated as spoilers. Big deal.
Right on.
I fail to believe you can write this:
information about the plot of a motion picture or TV program that can spoil a viewer's sense of surprise or suspense
And not realize you cannot spoil past real-world events. You can't spoil Omaha beach landing. You cannot spoil Reactor 4 having a partial meltdown.
The rest of the scene with operators is so meaningless in this gif, it literally isn't spoiling anything, it has no sound and subtitles are obviously not revealing anything from that scene.
Lol. Youre not spoiling the event itself silly.
It doesn't say:
information about real life events that can spoil a viewer's sense of surprise or suspense
It says about the plot of a motion picture or TV program which is exactly what HBO provides... I can't even.
Go argue something else thats more important.
Well conidering that you were downvoted and I instead got upvoted, I assume people agree with me more. But yeah, I get your point, and I agree with you.
Guess I wouldnt consider 61 upvotes as being downvoted but ok whatever you say.
Yeah I am watching episode 5 tonight and this is definitely spoilers for that episode...
exactly.
Hmm which 61 upvotes? I meant the comment responding to my first comment, in which you were downvoted but it has recently come up to "1" upvote, but it was on "-2" or "-3" if I'm not mistaken. It was a reply of my comment which I stated, "Do they REALLY need a spoiler tag? Considering knowing what happened?"
How long will this continue? Your disapproval for a spoiler on a post.. Its comical.
