Every time a sci-fi show starts getting good—poof—it’s gone. Canceled. Ghosted by the algorithm. No warning, no resolution, no final battle. From The OA and Sense8 to Altered Carbon and 1899, streaming platforms have become the silent assassins of great science fiction.
In this episode, we take a warp-speed deep dive into why so many smart, heartfelt sci-fi shows die young. It’s not because of the fans—it’s because of the system. Algorithms that don’t understand storytelling. Executives chasing quick trends. Binge culture that kills conversation.
But it’s not all doom in the stars—because fandom still has the power to resurrect what matters. Shows like The Expanse and The Orville prove that real storytelling can survive if we refuse to give up on it.
This is a love letter, a rant, and a reminder that sci-fi isn’t dead—it’s evolving.

After over a decade of creating content on YouTube — through demonetization, algorithm changes, and the occasional existential crisis — I’m starting to suspect that my channel might be trapped in some sort of digital purgatory.
This episode digs deep into the mystery of YouTube’s algorithm: Why do older channels seem to vanish from feeds? Can a creator ever recover from being demonetized? And what happens when your best videos get buried by the machine that used to lift you up?
I’m sharing my personal story — how I'm rebuilding after demonetization, embraced SEO tactics, and still saw my reach collapse. I’m also toying with my next move: a bold new experiment called Egotastic JP, maybe? Where I’ll test whether the problem is me... or the platform.
If you’ve ever felt like your channel stopped existing overnight, this one’s for you.

Ever pour your soul into YouTube—uploading consistently, mastering SEO, thumbnails, hooks, retention—and still feel invisible? JP breaks down the psychological rollercoaster of modern content creation in this brutally honest, hilariously relatable episode.

If you’ve ever stared at your analytics dashboard and wondered, “What’s the point?”—this one’s for you.

With his signature comedic wit, JP dissects why everything sucks in today’s society, from cancel culture to overhyped critics, all while keeping things lighthearted and, of course, Egotastic!
But it’s not all doom and gloom! JP also shares his thoughts on the indie sci-fi romance Another Version of You, pondering the idea of alternate realities and whether he’d actually want to meet a different version of himself (spoiler: probably not).
And for all you Lord of the Rings fans out there, JP takes a detour into Middle-earth.
It’s an episode filled with laughs, rants, and maybe even a few hard truths—so grab your lembas bread and strap in for a fun time!
