Media spoiler evaluation and mitigation

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory in communication with the processor, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• track a progress of a first user in consuming entertainment media;
• identify a progress point at which the first user stops consuming the entertainment media;
• detect a second user consuming the entertainment media at a point that is beyond the progress point and within a vicinity of the first user;
• detect, by evaluating metadata of the entertainment media, a first upcoming spoiler for the first user of the entertainment media;
• determine to not execute a mitigating action for the first upcoming spoiler in response to determining that a first severity of the first upcoming spoiler is below a threshold of the first user;
• detect, by evaluating metadata of the entertainment media, a second upcoming spoiler for the first user;
• and
• execute, in response to detecting the second upcoming spoiler and determining that a second severity of the second upcoming spoiler satisfies the threshold of the first user, the mitigating action.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:

• track a progress of a first user in consuming entertainment media;
• identify a progress point at which the first user stops consuming the entertainment media;
• detect a second user consuming the entertainment media at a point that is beyond the progress point and within a vicinity of the first user;
• detect, by evaluating metadata of the entertainment media, a first upcoming spoiler for the first user of the entertainment media;
• determine to execute a first type of mitigating action for the first upcoming spoiler in response to determining that a first severity of the first upcoming spoiler is below a threshold of the first user;
• detect, by evaluating metadata of the entertainment media, a second upcoming spoiler for the first user;
• and
• execute, in response to detecting the second upcoming spoiler and determining that a second severity of the second upcoming spoiler is above the threshold of the first user, a second type of mitigating action.
