There isn't a plot on Earth that's so spectacular that it's worth mentally harming someone to avoid spoiling it.

I think this is one of those things that sounds nice on paper, but in reality, it's such a damn crapshoot that it's better to just put your story out there an hope for the best, because there are almost seven billion people in the world, and you don't know what will set any given one of them off.

The only job the author has is to summarize what they wrote in enough detail that it will actually draw people in, but not so much that actually reading it feels like a foregone conclusion. (There's also the issue that trigger warnings, especially when you have more than one, can further muddy things by putting major plot points next to brief asides, often before you even get a chance to read the summary.) How people react is kind of out of your hands, it's okay, you did your best, etc.
