    The Streisand effect effect: When a famous person ends up being better known for a phenomenon named after them than for the original source of their fame.https://twitter.com/cmdrtaco/status/1251611824295985155 …

    Paul Graham added,

    Rob 'CmdrTaco' Malda @cmdrtaco
    It’s kinda awesome that “Streisand” herself is now increasingly more known for her “effect” than whatever acting she did prior to becoming the textbook example of dumbass internet PR moves.

        The most famous example is the Mendoza line: much more famous as a benchmark batting average than the baseball player who had such a mediocre average was for his career

        I tend to think of her music career, more than her acting. My mom was a huge Streisand fan when I was growing up. I heard it a lot around the house.

        Streisand effect should be renamed: Censorship Reactance. It means something and gets the point without having to remember some irrelevant name.

        Is this a reference to the fact that commander taco is most well known for being cmdrtaco and slashdot has been dead for long enough for no one to remember where they know him from? Or are you talking about Streisand?
