In this episode of Tea Under the Spotlight, we dive into the strange and unsettling phenomenon of the internet’s “algorithmic resurrection”—when controversial creators resurface in your feed as if nothing ever happened. Using the case of Gabbie Hanna as a lens, we unpack how platforms reward outrage, recycle scandal, and quietly rewrite public narratives in the name of engagement.

We explore what it really means to be “canceled,” who benefits from viral comebacks, and why the algorithm seems to have a longer memory than the internet does. Is this redemption, manipulation, or just the business of clicks? Grab your tea, because we’re putting the spotlight on how fame, fallout, and the feed collide.
