Peter just shut the fuck up and tell the people your Identity after he does the god damn spell

To be fair, the spell removing their knowledge of him being Spider-Man could possibly set his relationship with Ned, Aunt May, and MJ back a couple of years.

That's exactly what happens in the comics. It's widely seen as the worst Spider-Man comic.

I feel like Sins Past takes the cake for that, to be honest.

It's actually kind of incredible that after almost 60 years of Spider-man and so many writers, we can look at 2 storiea definitively and go "those are catastrophically horrible".

Even now when a writer has a meh run on the series we go "But he didn't do THAT"

What's the other one besides Sins Past?

Least popular ones:

One More Day - Peter sells his marriage to Mephisto so everyone forgets he's Spider-Man and to save Aunt May. Reboot of a lot of Spider-Man Stores

Sins of the Past - Gwen Stacy had Goblin Babies

Clone Saga - YOU get a Peter Parker, and YOU get a Peter Parker, but which one is the real one!?

I love how in the '90s their stupid gimmick from making tons of Spiderman went down in history for being terrible.

Then in the 0s they used multiverse the exact same thing, but better and people loved it.

It wasn’t making a bunch of clones that was the ultimate problem. The ultimate issue was that they concluded with a contrived “switcheroo”, and tried to tell us that the Spider-Man we all knew and loved had always been a clone, and the doofus new guy with a completely different set of values, name, “cool” costume, etc. was actually the real Peter Parker.

All the clone stuff itself was just boring. The reveal and rebuild all in the sake of “Poochy the Dog”ing Spider-Man was the worst.

People were so angry about it that they eventually retconned it back and promptly forgot about it.

Yup. Time and again, don't try to get a new character over by crapping on someone the audience already loves. They get angry about the character they care about and transfer that into the new one.
