No, I have not heard or read about that usage. I thought spoiler alerts were telling the ending of a narrative before knowing the whole narrative? But I guess if an event is planned one would need to know the ending first.
“The idea that “conspiracies are also called spoilers” is a humorous observation, not a literal fact. The comparison is a modern internet meme based on the idea that many supposed “conspiracy theories” have turned out to be true, much like a spoiler reveals the ending of a story”
They even sell merch on Amazon

Oh, good use of the term.
Or as the meme has it - “what is the difference between conspiracy theory and fact? Ans: Six months.”
(can’t find example right now and Google AI lectures me - “that’s not fair, just because some come true”)
I’m glad someone is there advocating for our “meek” corporate overlords… they’re always going through so much and having a hell of a time dealing with it…
… or truth.
