How do people feel about WotC previewing cards within a week now instead of 2~3? As much as I like seeing new cards I actually prefer them do it slower.

Supplemental sets like Commander precons have always had one-week previews, so this isn't new.
when there's so many different websites, channels, and feeds getting previews that you need to publish an article to track them all, its time to rethink how you ******* preview things.
sweet ******* jesus. no one is going to go to all that ***** to see some damn spoilers. they're going to just go somewhere that shows them all at once.
their spoiler strategy sucks so much dick and is beyond obnoxious now.

Hm, I thought it was at least two weeks years back. Either way, I’d think slower preview would whet people’s appetite better, without a long gap to cool off before released.

Then don’t follow all those sites. WotC is trying to give as much of the content creators a chance to have fun and show some cool things off. Either come here, or go to another spoiler site.

Just keep up that charming personality and you'll be asked to do your own previews, Xcric. The dick sucking will be practically nonexistent once they send the spoilers months in advance since your cooperative nature helps further their interests, what with all the influence you have over your fandom.

I dunno about following everyone, but I just follow a few of the major people on twitter and occasionally check the MTG Reddit.

IMO giving out spoilers a nice way to thank the content creators and it introduces me to people in the community I wouldn't have heard of otherwise. Plus its always fun to see what ways they present their card. Get over yourself.

That's why I ignore all of them and just look at spoilers on sites like this one or on mythic spoilers or mtgpics.
I can't stand most of the youtube videos with spoilers (apart from Desolator, at least his commentary is funny sometimes), I neither have the will nor the time to watch long boring streams on twitch just to look at a low-quality screencap of a card and I can't be bothered with Twatter.
At least this time they will spoil an entire deck each day starting from august 5.

You're right, they should just go back to their original system of not publishing a schedule and just having people scour the internet looking for the previews on their own. That's how it used to be. The current way is much better.
Right? I don't understand people who get so irrationally irritated at something like this. Just go to a spoiler compiler and let other people enjoy it their own way. Woof.

On your first point - Outrage is soooo so easy, and most people would rather walk away from ugliness rather than engage and call out someone.. I appreciate you're calling out the irrational outrage
On your second point - The outrage seems to be a function of laziness
But I'm lazy too in that I very much enjoy coming here to see everything in one place
And I do want to say thank you to all the folks who do that leg work of sharing the content here with us. Thank you folks for enabling my laziness, the centralized spoilers here on this forum were the initial reason I found this site some years ago.
The fact that content creators get the opportunity to benefit on the back end of all their work and WoTC's combined is good business - and I don't find that reason for the dispersion of the spoilers as anything but good business. It's not a detractor, it just comes with the territory. It's baked into the bread.

Or utilize their website? I mean, thats a novel idea. Using the mtg home page for... mtg
I mean, all of you saying dont bother just come here kind of prove the point that its really just a tedious and unnecessary way to spoil cards.
Its also most likely a contributing factor to leaks and leak culture. Slow roll spoils over 30 websites and have to suffer through internet nonsense, or have one nice centralized official source. Theyre one of the only companies that does this to this capacity and it makes spoiler seasons a slog.
People complain about it every season, so the solution was a guide? Dumb. But oh right xcric is criticizing it so magically the past 10 years of mtgs users saying the same things disappears and wotc can do no wrong because he was crass about it. got it. Business as usual.
We all go to mythic spoiler, or here, anyway so is there a point to this method?

However, it IS a great way to acknowledge the community. I believe even MTGS got a spoiler for M20, didn't they? Or was it WAR/MH1?

They're one of the only companies that has a game that allows them to do this to this capacity. And as others have pointed out, everything gets compiled on spoiler sites. Not sure how that makes things a slog.
OH GOD! You might get a spoiler hours after it comes out!!! (which is still weeks before release, generally) That's less hours you'd have to mock up the card and playtest it, or whatever it is that getting spoilers hours late is making you upset about. Geez.

If we all go here, then what's the issue?
And if you actually gave a damn about this issue instead of just wanting to vent, you'd complain to someone who could actually DO something about it. Hence, you don't care, you just want to whine. Congratulations. A winner is you.
The point is acknowledging the community. It'd be easy for them to just post all the spoilers on their site, but considering they don't tend to have too many regular columnists anymore other than Mark Rosewater, they'd have to get people to spend time writing things up, when instead they can just throw content creators, who are ALREADY doing content anyway, a bone. Everyone wins, well, except people who want to be miserable.

Have honestly never heard of anybody, until you, complain about this. Is this just “old man yells at clouds”? Because that’s how this reads.
Some people just b**** to b**** I guess, gives them purpose in life or something.
So we will get some spoilers at 6pm eastern time today? Awesome. I'm excited to see what is in store for us today!
I am too. Last few sets have been good, gives me hope of a return to form for these products as well.

I do appreciate that the design team said they addressed the complaints people had from last years decks, so hopefully it's not all false promises and they actually beefed up these decks for us.
