    Is anyone else completely turned off Stranger Things by all the ridiculous ads? They keep trying to sell it with everything from Google’s AI slop to fucking washing machine detergent.

    Yes daddy Netflix, I would like nothing more than Demogorgon-flavored Tide pods, how very astute of you!

        Yeah for real. The marketing didn’t really detract from my opinion of it, the writing did tbh. Glad they ::: spoiler spoiler had Will come out tho! :::

          You’ll have to put that spoiler in a new paragraph. Unfortunately spoiler tags are not a standard Markdown feature. There are no inline spoilers in the Lemmy UI (which is a stupid ass decision, what the fuck devs), and no spoilers whatsoever on Mastodon.

          This works:

          :::spoiler Spoiler Title
          spoiler content
          :::
          

          This does not:

          :::spoiler spoiler content :::

            On my third party client (Boost) none of your examples work but the ops does. Maybe a hold over from the Reddit days?

              My examples won’t work because they’re in code blocks. Code blocks are meant to render their content verbatim, without parsing Markdown tags. This span uses multiple formatting tags. ~~**_This is the same in an inline code span._**~~

              ~~**_This is the same in a code block._**~~
              

              Like I said, spoiler tags are not a standard feature. Whether they work depends entirely on the renderer used by the client.

                Could’ve figured… Totally didn’t though :D Would be nice if spoilers were a standard feature, maybe we’ll get them in the future.

      I thought it told everything it wanted to in 2 seasons so I never was interested in the first place. I’m more shocked there’s hype in the first place. Season 4 wasn’t good at all. And I can’t remember anything from season 3.

      I got bored of it in like season 3, but I’ve also just heard not great things about the writing now so I have no interest in it regardless of ads.
