the kardashian effect

When someone becomes despite (or because of) a lack of skill, talent or ability. Usually the result of a sex tape or an Instagram account filled with selfies. Named for Kim Kardashian, who was by no means the first person to achieve fame this way, but certainly one of the most infamous.

Starla was hoping to undergo the Kardashian Effect by posting 400 selfies per day.

The Kardashian Effect

Praising someone by giving them fame and/or money for a stupid reason, much like how the Kardashians got fame, titty twitch streamers are a good example of the Kardashian effect

Man 1 : why do people like Charli Demilio have fame

Man 2 : dude, it’s the Kardashian effect

The Kardashian effect

It's when someone complains about how hard they have it, not to get OR take the help offered, but just simply because they want to get attention and create drama to show how hard they think they think they have it.

Especially useful on social media

Example: I’m stuck on the freeway car broken down, no one for miles, kids screaming in the back seat, my eldest has a disability and doesn’t understand and I have no mobile service but it dropped in enough to post this 😰

Response: Help offered by multiple people all turned down with the ‘ill solider on’, it’ll be ok’ or ‘this is my life I’m used to it’. And yet they can keep responding to said posts/texts. Oh, your suffering from the kardashian effect!

The Kardashian Rule

if you don't get a message back after ten minutes of sending it someone preoccupied they aren’t taking you as seriously as they need to and if it was a Kardashian they would respond as soon as they get it.

The Kardashian Rule helped save people a few hours a day of using their electronic devices for no effect.
