The Gaia Effect

What happens when inflation of a currency gets out of hand. The result? Everything become expensive, and the economy tanks and implodes. Named after what happened with Gaia Online and the whole "Goldemort's gold generator" situation.

Economists must know that while manageable inflation is good, hyperinflation and the Gaia effect can cause severe consequences.

Matei Effect

The "Matei Effect" is a term used to describe whenever a joke or meme based on another piece of media becomes more recognised and widespread than the original media itself. Often common within the younger crowd.

The term "Matei Effect" was coined when Mike Matei's video of "Minecraft with Gadget" became an immensely popular meme which has now overshadowed the original "Inspector Gadget" show itself.

As a result, younger generations may only know of Inspector Gadget because of Mike's video and have likely never seen any other official Inspector Gadget media ever beforehand. Causing what's called the "Matei Effect".

big chungus (Bugs Bunny), garfielf (Garfield), we live in a society (Joker), Grand Dad (Flintstones) are all victims of the Matei Effect!

The GD Effect

whenever something popular references about something niche, that niche thing will be overridden by fans of the popular thing, this happened most in Geometry Dash where you can choose songs from Newgrounds. Usually when a level got popular the comments of the Newgrounds song would be flooded with "Anyone here from ____??"

"Many people started to flood madness combat videos because of the fnf vs tricky mod."
"That sounds like The GD Effect"
"What?"
