Ehhhhhh...I can't fully agree to this secret, but I think this train of thought can be true.
But it's wholly dependent on what the movie is and how it's being presented.

Because the older I get the less I seek out trailers to watch. And in general, most trailers are really, really really uninspiring/lame that I tend to forget anything gleaned from trailers I watch (mostly before I movie in theatres or when someone shares a movie trailer with me).

And so for the most part I wouldn't give trailers to a film much thought.
However, movie trailers that have a tendency to reveal the whole story or make a big twist in the film a big part of the trailer piss me off. It reads as lazy and/or trying way too hard to draw people in and throwing away suspense.

It's OK to hold people in suspense. It's OK to be vague.
The point of a trailer is to pique the watcher's interest, not give them all the best parts of the film.

Honestly, I feel like movie trailers is turning into a lost art.

+1000 Trailers are their own form of art; example: fanmade trailers where they take film from one genre of movie and turn it into another. If the people making the trailers haven't seen the whole movie/don't get the movie/are on a time crunch to churn out as many trailers as possible, they're not going to make good trailers. The trailers are going to be completely wrong for the genre, plot, mood, etc. And yes, they will give away spoilers. They are absolutely not part of "the experience."
