I saw a tiny bit and they seem legit, they gave content creators early access to the DLC and now there's a lot of gameplay, bosses, and story being spoiled on social media. Be careful out there.

I'll sticky that for the time being to remind everyone to be mindful of spoilers.
You are free to not care about spoilers, but at least respect those who do, thank you.

Polygon does this too:

"Why boss XYZ is one of the hardest and why it's misunderstood"

Along with a picture of the boss on the front page

Spoilers? Man I finished the game and I still have no idea what’s going on

Can't be spoiled if you're already confused

It sucks having to either play it on day one or stay away from social media in order to avoid spoilers

I uninstalled the Google News app bc otherwise I'm sure it'd send me notifications for articles about bosses and lore

I uninstalled whatever version of it was around a few years ago when it spoiled the f1 I was planning on watching later by sending a push notification with the result the moment it finished

I am not ready to play it due to life stuff, but I absolutely have to because I know my friends will be playing it day 1 just like before, and if I didn't join them I would have missed out on some of the best online gaming I've had in probably 10 years.

is it really that hard. I have to search for posts about a game to see things about the game on the whole and most things specifcally about a subject are pretty good about spoiler tags and even then usually the subject will indicate to you if its dangerous spoiler wise.

Reminds me of the time I got banned from Xbox live communication for like 24 hours for writing a boss name in a looking for group post, thanks M$
