I'm an "end reader", and I've complained about the spoiler tags before.
I have in the past edited Wikipedia, but that doesn't make me not a reader.
As long as we're playing the anecdote game I've heard complaints from at least two non-Wikipedian friends about the lack of spoiler warnings. As one put it "Where'd all the spoiler warnings go?" However, I'm not sure they would have had this attitude but for the fact that there was what amounts to a change; that it, they expected to see spoiler tags and be able to use that advantage because they had seen them before and were not used to now lack of them. I have no idea how common this is.
