You're assuming I supported the mechanical process of mass spoiler warning
removals. I think spoiler warnings are a bad idea, but I recognise that
their usefulness depends on the circumstances.

As an aside, your sarcastic comparisons may be misplaced considering that if
you dispute the removal of a spoiler warning, you can add it back, while
undoing deletions (without causing a wheel war/desysopings) is a
significantly harder and lengthier process.
