The Power of Engagement and Expectations in Enjoying Media

Engagement and expectations play a significant role in how we enjoy media. When we are engaged in a story and have certain expectations, spoilers may not hinder our enjoyment. In some cases, knowing the twist or plot beforehand can enhance our experience, especially if we appreciate the craft and narrative techniques employed. Being able to see the foreshadowing or appreciate the clues can create a different kind of satisfaction. However, there are also individuals who dislike spoilers, and their enjoyment may be diminished if they already know the outcome.
