When a YouTuber, particularly one who creates STEM focused content, is working on a project only for Veritasium (real name, Derek Muller) to release a video on the topic before they've finished.

Dangit man, I was about 70% done with a video on knot theory when Veritasium came out with one of his own.
Sounds like you got Dereked bud.

Surf Dracula Syndrome

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
