Datamining is the worst except in the cases where it just becomes more of a mystery. Like "we know there's this scene in the game and it doesn't appear to be cut, but we can't figure out how to get to it without hacking yet." Like the Nuclear Disarmament cutscene in MGS5. It was found pretty early on, but nobody was sure how it worked until enough people worked together to dismantle every single nuke on the platform for the game (IIRC PlayStation did it first).
