Maliciously spoiling 'Game of Thrones' for your friends — or enemies — just got a lot easier with a new service that automatically texts details of new episodes to a victim of your choice.
The service, Spoiled.io, which was first introduced in 2016, costs $0.99 per episode, and works by anonymously and automatically texting out spoilers related to the latest episode as it airs.
Users of the service are then provided with a link where they can view the response from their targets while other individuals interested in the schadenfreude of it all can view publicly responses online.

Spoiled.io is for your most spiteful friend or enemy intent on ruining 'Game of Thrones' before you've watched
'For just $0.99 USD, Spoiled will anonymously and ruthlessly text spoilers to your unsuspecting friends after each new episode airs,' reads the Spoiled.io website. 'Afterwards, sit back, relax, and view your friends' responses.'
According to developers, the app is inspired by a since-deleted Reddit post that detailed how a woman sought retribution on an ex by systemically spoiling HBO's 'Game of Thrones' — his favorite show — every week.
As legend and Reddit post have it, the revenge-spoiling began after a particularly bad break up, and was sustained via the ex conjuring up creative ways to make sure that her ex was in receipt of the crucial spoilers, including text messages, the messaging service WhatsApp, and even going as far as to borrow a phone of a mutual friend in order to trick him into answering.
While the project was done in jest to begin with, the team said it amassed hundreds of users in an unexpectedly short amount of time and decided to keep the service ongoing.
It's unclear whether the Reddit post was real, but the idea behind the story now is.
According to the service's website, the app works internationally as well, so even your frenemies across the globe won't be able to hide from the scourge of Game of Thrones spoilers. A still from an earlier season of the show is pictured
Unlike in 2016 — the service was initially launched just before the final episode of season 6 of Game of Thrones — Spoiled.io will have not just one, but six episodes to ruin for its unsuspecting victims.
To make the service's bite even stronger, the upcoming season of Game of Thrones — a show known for its untimely and shocking character deaths — is set to begin airing on April 14, and will be the final in the series' eight-year run.

Anyone interested in using the service may want to do so with caution, however. Just like in Game of Thrones, revenge could always be just around the corner.
