Cancelling Shows Is Degenerate Behaviour

Studios wipe cancelled shows off the planet like they never existed — Dubious (35/100)

At 0:30

Shows get removed from libraries but don't vanish from existence — episodes still circulate online.

Why this score: Hyperbole on the 'disappear' part. - Streaming services do pull shows from their catalogs - Episodes remain on other platforms, torrents, and fan archives - The 'never existed' framing is dramatic but not literal

Original quote: “when they just decide to cancel THE WHOLE SHOW, IT'S DUMB. THEY JUST GET RID OF IT. Delay off the face OF THE PLANET, WIPE IT CLEAN, MAKE IT DISAPPEAR BLOOD. THEY MOVE LIKE IT never existed in the first place.”

Calls Inside Job one of Netflix's best anime shows — Opinion (50/100)

At 2:30

Strong personal ranking — anime label is the only debatable part.

Why this score: Opinion piece, not a measurable fact. Key points: - Speaker ranks it highly based on their own viewing - Inside Job is an American adult animated series, not Japanese anime - "Best" depends entirely on taste, so no external verification needed

Original quote: “here, Inside Job is unequivocally one of Netflix's best anime shows.”

Says Inside Job was well-received and fans wanted more seasons — Solid (75/100)

At 3:00

Reception data backs the claim — community comments echo the same frustration.

Why this score: Audience reception was positive. - Show holds 7.6/10 on IMDb from thousands of ratings - YouTube comments repeatedly call it "deserving another season" and compare it favorably to long-running bad shows - No major critic backlash reported at cancellation

Original quote: “It's not like it was a poorly received show. I'm certain a lot of people mess with it at the time and were way too eager to even want more seasons of it.”

Claims Inside Job ended on a deliberate cliffhanger after cancellation — Verified (90/100)

At 3:15

Textbook "we dared them to cancel us" move — the ending confirms it.

Why this score: Ending was written as a setup for more. - Final scene invites Reagan to join the "super Illuminati" - Showrunners have publicly discussed writing the cliffhanger as a challenge to Netflix - Reddit discussions from showrunners confirm the intentional open ending

Original quote: “EVEN WITH THE SHOW BEING CANCELLED, it ended on a cliffhanger. It ended on something that was meant to continue the story, not end it.”

Netflix cancelled Inside Job because they refused to market season 2 — Dubious (45/100)

At 4:30

Speaker blames marketing alone — real reason was lower viewership numbers.

Why this score: Viewership data matters more than marketing claims. - Netflix rarely shares exact numbers, but the showrunner and multiple reports pointed to season 2 not hitting the same numbers as season 1. - Lack of marketing is common for mid-tier shows; it usually reflects expected performance, not the cause. - No public evidence shows Netflix deliberately sabotaged promotion.

Original quote: “I had to go surfing on the internet to even find out that the only reason Inside Job did get cancelled was because for how great season 1 was, season 2 didn't do that great. But my people, why this cancellation is stupid isn't because it wasn't wellreceived, but it was because they didn't even…”

Netflix cancelled Inside Job while renewing weaker shows — Opinion (50/100)

At 6:30

Classic Netflix complaint — they do cancel mid-tier shows fast while letting others run.

Why this score: Opinion on programming decisions. - Speaker dislikes the renewal choices - No viewership data provided - Common frustration echoed in comments

Original quote: “How you going to cancel Inside Job, but let shows like Paradise PD and Big Mouth exist?”

Netflix pushes crude animated shows for binge viewing — Opinion (50/100)

At 6:37

Subjective take on Netflix's animation slate — not really checkable.

Why this score: Pure opinion. - Reflects the speaker's taste - No specific shows or metrics cited - Matches broader online sentiment about adult animation

Original quote: “I've kind of noticed it now with some of their shows and wherever else they animate is that these guys just tend to make Matt Freaky [__] on their platform for people to binge.”

Netflix cancels shows due to poor marketing, not just low views — Dubious (40/100)

At 6:47

Inside Job's marketing was minimal — but viewership numbers aren't public, so hard to prove.

Why this score: Marketing failure is plausible but unproven. - Netflix rarely releases per-show viewership data - Inside Job got one trailer and little follow-up - Industry norm is to blame marketing when shows flop

Original quote: “To cancel a show because it didn't get enough viewership is one thing, but to cancel a show because you couldn't market it properly is your own blunder.”

Only millennials and elderly still pay for Netflix — Sketchy (25/100)

At 7:02

Netflix still has 260+ million subscribers — piracy exists but the claim is way overblown.

Why this score: Exaggerated demographic claim. - Netflix reported 269 million subscribers in early 2026 - Piracy is real but doesn't mean only old people pay - Younger users often share accounts or use ads tier

Original quote: “You ain't no Michael Jackson. Only [__] buying your [__] nowadays is the millennials and the elderly. Everybody else is sailing the seven seas, man.”

Speaker personally loved Final Space more than Inside Job — Personal Story (60/100)

At 7:17

Genuine nostalgia — Final Space had a passionate fanbase before it got cancelled.

Why this score: Personal testimony. - Speaker bonded with a friend over the show - Final Space ran three seasons on TBS and Netflix - Creator later released a manga to finish the story

Original quote: “And speaking of hate, here, the second show I want to mention that hurts me even more than inside job is Final Space. And I want you guys to know something is that I freaking used to love Final Space, man.”

Says Final Space ended on a cliffhanger because it got cancelled — Solid (75/100)

At 10:30

True on the cliffhanger part — the show really did get axed mid-arc.

Why this score: Factually accurate on the ending. Final Space Season 3 concluded with Invictus breaking free during the credits, leaving the central villain arc unresolved. The creator has confirmed the story was planned for more seasons.

Original quote: “this show was cancelled. And Final Space also ended on a cliffhanger.”

Invictus appears for the first time in the final credits then show gets cancelled — Solid (80/100)

At 10:37

Matches what actually aired — the villain reveal was literally the last shot.

Why this score: Correct detail. The post-credits scene in the Season 3 finale was the first proper appearance of Invictus in physical form after being teased for three seasons. Cancellation was announced shortly after.

Original quote: “The whole time the show was building up Invictus as the main bad guy... at the very end of Final Space... Invictus finally gets out of being a prison and appears for the first time. But that's when they decide to cancel the show.”

Final Space was cancelled as a tax write-off after Warner Bros. merger left them broke — Dubious (45/100)

At 10:50

Tax write-off angle is popular online but the actual reason was more about streaming economics than bankruptcy.

Why this score: Partial truth mixed with oversimplification. Warner Bros. Discovery did massive restructuring after the 2022 merger and wrote off several completed shows for tax purposes. However, Final Space was a TBS original later moved to HBO Max — the cancellation was driven by cost-cutting and low viewership metrics, not the company going "broke."

Original quote: “It's because Final Space became a tax write off. Warner Bros. were merging into a new company which in turn led to said company becoming broke as [__] and since they were broke and had a lot of debt they decided to either cancel shows completely or just use some of them as a tax write off.”

Warner Bros used Final Space cancellation to avoid paying production costs and "gods" — Sketchy (30/100)

At 11:02

The "not pay the gods" bit is pure meme-speak — no evidence of any divine payroll.

Why this score: Metaphorical rant. The speaker is using "gods" as slang for executives or investors. While write-offs do let companies deduct losses, this phrasing wildly exaggerates the mechanism. The real issue was standard corporate cost-cutting, not some ritual sacrifice of shows.

Original quote: “So to put it simply here for you guys that don't understand they used this SHOW TO NOT PAY [__] THE ENCOUNTERED gods and sacrifices like it was a go or some [__]”

All listed shows cancelled for tax write-offs — Sketchy (30/100)

At 12:30

Broad generalization with zero receipts for most of those titles.

Why this score: No supporting evidence presented for the tax write-off motive across the board. Key issues: - Specific internal studio decisions aren't public - Community comments mention toy sales and ratings instead - This claim mixes frustration with unverified corporate motives

Original quote: “I've never seen this a day in my life. But the point is all these shows got cancelled for dumb reasons like a tax write off.”

Daybreak is a hidden-gem post-apocalyptic show cancelled after one season — OK (65/100)

At 14:30

Plot details are mostly right — the one-season cancellation is accurate too.

Why this score: The speaker's summary of the premise (nuclear apocalypse, mutated adults called ghoulies, high-school factions) matches the actual 2019 Netflix series. - Cancellation after exactly one season is confirmed. - The "hidden gem" framing is subjective but widely echoed in fan comments.

Original quote: “Daybreak is a show that's set in a post-apocalyptic world in where a bunch of nukes were dropped and caused everything like people and animals to mutate, making the adult zombies called ghoulies who lack any consciousness beside eating people and turned animals like dogs into flipping weirdos.”

Daybreak's cliffhanger ending was stupid and needed a season 2 — Opinion (50/100)

At 16:30

Pure opinion on a show's quality — can't fact-check taste.

Why this score: Subjective take on Daybreak's ending. Key points: - Speaker calls the girlfriend twist "stupid" and says it needed a season 2 - No objective metric provided — just personal frustration with the cliffhanger - Common viewer reaction when a show ends without resolving its main arc

Original quote: “Daybreak probably could have had a banger season 2 if they wanted to renew it for one. And it definitely needed one cuz I remember the flipping ending to this show and it's stupid. You know how I said the whole show was about him finding his girlfriend? Well, he found her, but she doesn't want to…”
