I think kindness and compassion are not really the right categories, here. Keep in mind that there are many types of people and compassion doesn't require seeing the world from merely one point of view and insisting that all the world bend to the whims of one outlook, but rather trying to see it from multiple angles and trying to do right by all as much as practicable. So think about the situation from the POV not of someone a year behind and trying to avoid spoilers, but rather that of someone who's watching the current episodes, but hasn't had time to watch the whole backlog and wants a quick answer or two to help them understand what's going on better... or maybe someone who wants to do a deep dive to better understand Matt's world of Exandria… or somone who's memory is imperfect, but thinks they caught a clever reference by a cast member to past experience and wants to refresh their memory on what happened last year... such people are also those who would go to a reference like this, and all of whom would find it more jarring to find everything cast into the present tense as if all events were equally and immediately imminent to all readers...
