When is it OK to post spoilers?

Your view now

First time starting a thread so sorry if this is dumb. The finale of the show everyone's watching came out on Sunday night in the US, which was Monday morning here, and by the time I got home from work the ending was in a meme on three different apps. Nobody did it on purpose. It was just everywhere. I know you can't wait forever for everyone in every country. But I also don't think "it aired" means "it's public" the same minute. So: when is it actually OK? I'd say a week for TV, longer for films. Am I being precious?

Too soon7arguments＋ Add

I used to post reaction content and the finale night was the biggest night of the year, and I knew every time I posted that I was ruining it for someone who hadn't got home yet, and I did it anyway because that's when the numbers were. So: it's too soon, and people will do it anyway, and both of those are true, and I'm not sure a rule fixes a thing that pays.
