Meh, imo spoilers only spoil experiences for people who take media too seriously.
When I consider watching a movie, one of the first things I do is read a complete plot summary, including the ending. When I do this and no longer want to watch the movie, in my mind, that’s not a sign that any experience was spoiled, but rather that it just wasn’t very interesting to begin with.
Conversely, I have played Nethack on and off for decades, have read countless spoilers about it, yet still haven’t won and still find it interesting.
There's only one documented instance of someone winning without spoilers. It's a 40-year-old game.
Nethack has been around since 1987, it's a little late for spoilers.
People still play this game. Spoilers still spoil experiences for others.

We’re in a thread about Nethack 5.0 release, I think it’s safe to say not everyone in this thread has finished the game.
OP is talking about a several decade old version of nethack, not nethack 5.0.0.
Not me! Maybe some day, but losing can be fun too.
