Is there a particular reason this segment puts a spoiler in either the title or the thumbnail every time? Usually the next day after the episode airs? Didn't spoil anything for me, but it's got to be doing it for someone.

I'll be real: I cannot be bothered.

I avoid trying to put exactly what happens or including context to give stuff away, but then it's people mad about a screencap which, if you have no context for the scene what does that screencap tell you, exactly? That some kind of monster shows up in Chainsaw Man? What does the text tell you? That Denji got into some kind of sexy situation with a character, a reference to last week's episode, and that the characters are facing a threat.

Every week I have to pick a screenshot that makes people interested and combine it with text that's both informative as to the topics discussed and clever enough not to let the entire cat out of the bag but it's a losing game most of the time. I try just not to be a complete ass about it but the picture and text combo is about as close as I'll go to "spoilers" and it'll still make people grouchy.

I mean, this is all fair, really. Thanks for spending more time than you probably wanted trying to explain.
