You're joking, right? A sizeable number of people here on HN read the comments before reading the item, partly because the comments often have more information than the item, and partly because the title is often less of a guide to the quality than the comments. I always check the comments first, not least, in addition to the above, they usually load faster.

Wow, I thought you were being ironic when you mentioned the spoiler...

I was being sarcastic. The spoiler really did spoil the joke, although the joke was such a minor part that it didn't matter very much. The point remains. Many people read the HN comments before the submission, and the spoiler, well, spoilt it.

If you read the comments, it's unreasonable to complain about their having content from the video. The point of the comments is for people who've seen it to comment on it; if they're incidentally helpful to you without watching the video, that's fine, but don't expect people not to spoil things.
