Because the ultimate question in our lives right now is not “What do we get our significant other for Valentine’s Day?” but “How do I avoid reading House of Cards spoilers? Wait, shit, it’s Valentine’s Day??” (It’s official: Netflix is trying to undermine your relationship.)
SpoilerFoiler.com might be Netflix’s most brilliant idea since deciding to produce original content: Just type in your Twitter info, and then read your stream on the site. The app screens for keywords related to House of Cards and hides the tweet with a <> button, which you can then click through if you really want to see what happens to <<<<SPOILER ALERT>>>> who defies <<<<SPOILER ALERT>>>> and gets <<<SPOILER ALERT>>>>.
Of course, the system isn’t perfect, and sometimes SpoilerFoiler can get a bit overzealous about what they’re protecting.
Revealed:
So, spoiler alert, someone gets fucked/married/killed during this season of House of Cards. You’ve been warned!
