Recent trailers have revealed plot points that would normally be considered spoilers. Should studios stop doing this?

I did wonder about the trailer, was it the whole plot or just the start of the film. It's a bit of a gamble.

I went back to watch both trailers today after seeing the movie last week. One is a lot of plot points but jumbled to make it somewhat unclear (by design?). The other has what you would expect to be full scenes that I don't even recall from the movie. The full plot is not more than hinted at in either. I enjoyed the movie, and having seen a trailer didn't take away from that at all, in my experience.

Again, the disclaimer: I agree that plot revealing trailer suck. I typically avoid watching trailers in theaters by looking at my phone or whatever just to distract myself, and never watch trailers at all outside of theaters.
