Default Strawberry blossoms

Planted some strawberries and the first blossoms have appeared. I read
somewhere that one should pick off the blossoms because it encourages the
plants to send out shooters. If I pick off the blossoms, that means I won't
have any strawberries this year. Right? Will the plants spread if I don't
pick the blossoms? Or do you think I should just pick some of the blossoms
and not all? I really want to pick some berries this year. Any advice?


I never picked the blossoms and the strawberries send out PLENTY of
runners!
