I do the exact same thing, been waiting on new seasons to drop since like 2019. One trick that works for me is telling friends upfront "I'm behind on purpose, just don't spoil me til I catch up" and most people actually respect it. Also muting the show name on social media for a few weeks saves you from getting the big reveal ruined.

Man, $8 a month? That's brutal. My own bank was paying me like 30 cents on a couple grand last year and I didn't even blink, just figured that's how it goes. Watching your uncle go from 8 bucks to almost 60 a month on the same money is wild when you actually see the numbers side by side. That broker did him a solid with one question. I gotta go check what my savings is actually earning now because I bet it's garbage too.
