NEW EXAMPLE OF THE STREISAND AFFECT

I REMEMBER THIS BEING USED TO ADVERTISE BEE MOVIE BUT IT WAS NOT

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN OTHER PARALEL UNVERSES?

Uh, dude, you're thinking of the halo effect. The Streisand effect is where an individual of low skill believes themselves to be highly skilled.

i thought the streisand effect is where you complain about people paying attention to something about/related to you that you don't want them to know about or see and then that just counterproductively causes more people to find out about it

Calica

Speaking of the Krunning-Dugger effect, it amuses me that the internet has a thousand completely different versions of the curve.

No, you're definitely thinking of the bystander effect.

I think Calica meant the Mandela Effect, where it's impossible to figure out if somebody on the internet is being serious or is just kidding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect

The Bradley effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware something is being kept from them, their motivation to access and spread the information is increased.^[1]

Dangit, stop dimming the compact fluorescent light bulbs and telling me that they're not dimmed, already! You know those things can't be dimmed safely!
