Thanks for reminding me to open your list of snubbed articles article in my browser (done). Yesterday I had read it on my phone. The issue with philosophy boosts may be that the curation team lacks the subject matter expertise to know whether or not to accept your philosophy nominations. I recall the owner of The Taoist Online telling me in a direct message Discord chat sevral months ago that he would have to write very detailed and reasoned letters when he nominated philosophical pieces and sometimes engaged in back and forth with the "board" after a rejection to get them to reconsider. I don't know if that is possible anymore as now I understand from another that there is anonymity for the curation team. I also undersand that certain topics like poetry and spirituality don't get decided upon by just any member of the team but that those nominations get sent to SMEs (subject matter experts). Perhaps they need a philosophy SME. I understand that from your POV that expert is supposed to be you and that the rejection rate is frustrating.

Regarding me bringing up Farscape, which you originally brought up to me some time ago, synchronicity need not be some profound aha experience. I'd be interested in reading your Farscape writings. Maybe you would post them in a sci fi or fandom pub and possibly expand your audience. Plus, it would be a nice change of pace as I wonder if you're starting to recycle on Medium as I'm pretty sure I read this time travel content from you before, not that there's anything wrong with that.
