Sponsorblasting

A common money-making tactic employed by quality content creators, especially those found on platforms like TikTok. Sponsorblasting consists of occasional sponsored content produced periodically, used primarily by affluent content creators to make modest amounts of money in short bursts off of the views they get.

It may seem like an ineffective concept, but it's incredibly effective at increasing user retention in practice. The sporadic approach that sponsorblasting takes towards monetization can often increase user retention via classical conditioning techniques. Through psychological concepts that won't be discussed here, sponsorblasting both traumatizes viewers and creates patterns of addiction that maintain a firm grip on them in spite of the negative mental health impacts of the presented content.
Sponsorblasting is a common tactic employed by affluent TikTok wagyuposters such as Nick DiGiovanni and itsQCP in order to rake in money from sponsorships while increasing user retention. These sorts of psychological guerilla marketing techniques often create intense dependencies for viewers, severely harming their mental health and forcing them into a vicious cycle of further contribution and monodependency. The lack of governmental regulation against these sorts of practices is a common contributor to widespread mental health issues for younger generations.

1. I've been handling ghost-hunting for years now, so I've got a pretty good grasp on parapsychology. Did you know that what was previously considered spectral ectoplasm... goes on tangent
2. I'm tired of my psychology getting in the way of me living my life, so I've been doing some pretty heavy parapsychology lately, trying to get to the core of the issues I've been having.

Compound Acronym

An acronym where each letter is used in a more creative manner to express more meaning than a simpler letter-for-word acronym would enable.
BDSM is technically an acronym, but not a traditional letter-for-word acronym like "TSA" or "LMAO". Instead, the term BDSM acts as a compound acronym. It stands for "Bondage and Discipline, Domination and Submission, Sadism and Masochism". If that term were expressed as a conventional acronym, it would be written out as "BDDSSM", and so consolidating the redundant letters of the acronym and expressing the term as a compound acronym, "BDSM", makes for a term that is far easier to say.

Good Source Of Vitamins

A term for any article of food, typically snack foods, that has a significant amount of sugar in it, around 50% your daily value's sugar per serving size.
Upon the box of poptarts read a small but prevalent line of text at the front: "good source of vitamins and minerals!" A simple tactic to distract careless buyers from daring to read the nutrition facts on the back and find the dark secrets buried just below the surface...

The bread pudding effect

When you make a recipe for your friends or family that turns out a bit *too* good. They then associate you with said recipe and insistently demand that you make it for them at as many special occasions as possible. It can become very annoying very quickly.

Named after a dessert called bread pudding, praised for its simplicity and incredible flavor.
1: "UUGHHH! I hate the bread pudding effect!"
2: "Uh... what?"
1: "I made some bread pudding for my sister's birthday party last week. It turned out incredibly well, but now it's all she ever talks about with me! She keeps asking me to make more of it for her and asking me to bring some to more events and... ugh, it's so annoying."
2: "Bread pudding is indeed really quite nice! Ya know... you could probably persuade her to pay you for more of it in the future."
1: "That-- ...that's not a bad idea, actually. Hm!"

Atonia

A medical term referring to the usually temporary loss of muscle coordination. In the context of sleep science, atonia refers to the natural inhibition of neural impulses to one's skeletal muscles the body undergoes during sleep.
In sleep pathology, atonia that fails to recede upon awakening results in sleep paralysis; conversely, a failure of the brain to properly induce atonia during sleep results in night terrors.

Modern Major General

A song that debuted in an opera called The Pirates of Penzance. It entered popular culture in recent decades following its adaptation in VeggieTales. Nowadays, it's commonly parodied in various memes
"I'm very good with integral and differential calculus,
I know the scientific names of beings animalcules;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern major general!"
(In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
he is the very model of a modern major general!)
