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

They pay for the ads right? Why not just have that 5 second clip be for the ad and not for the actual youtube video?

That 5 second clip is the ad and then it plays the rest of the trailer which is also the ad. They know post people will skip the ad so they have a short spot at the beginning as an attention grabber in hopes you won't skip.
