What is the point of the 'Spoiler' tag?

eg, here:

It often seems to be used by "accident" by beginners.

In this case possibly because, in the "extended" toolbar, it's in the place where 'insert image' was on the "basic" toolbar:

Hi @Andrew Neil ,

Thanks for sharing this. I apologize for the delayed response.

In online communities, a spoiler tag is used to hide a sensitive content behind this clickable overlay so it's no exposed immediately in discussions. Can you share examples of content where you are unsure about the use of a spoiler tag? We will review these examples.

I see your point regarding the placement in the toolbar once extending that could the misuse. I will look into adjust the location of this button. Let me know if this would help. 

Regards,
Lina
