The Biz effect

A phenomenon when someone is so obnoxious about a piece of media that it makes it seem unappealing to others, regardless of its actual quality.

This guy is so obnoxious about Ace Combat to the point that others think it's mediocre at best. The Biz Effect make them dislike it.

The Shardy affect/effect

yes effect or affect because the shardy affect/effect is when a man or woman finds people who are potentially attracted to them or even the slightest bit attracted to them(cute) and manipulates them unconsciously making you think the world is yours when really it’s all a similar situation to a genjutsu and you hold no power except defeat

from the perspective of the “shardy” the shardy affect/effect is when a person who is the slightest bit attracted to you even just thinking you look cute can easily be manipulated, making them think u are giving them the world and you are all they need in life gaslighting and ego boosting them with toxic love for example hype them up for 2 days in a row telling them how attractive they are and the 3rd day act like they are just “ighh” then proceed to follow up the next day by telling them u apologize if u came off rude your just “going through a lot” and proceed to hype them up eventually you will do this unconsciously and their love will grow uncontrollably for you to the point where they will do anything for you.

Downing-Kruger Effect

The Downing-Kruger effect is like the Dunning-Kruger effect, but specifically exhibited by people with Down Syndrome. It may be more apparent than usual due to the “stubborn” personality type commonly associated with DS.

My roommate kept nagging me a lot by saying I needed to take NyQuil, even though I actually had pinkeye and it wouldn’t have helped any. I know he thinks he’s caring for me, but he really doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. It’s not his fault though; he has Down Syndrome, so this is just the Downing-Kruger effect in action.

Ferrari effect

Brand loyalty, regardless of quality differences. Buying a potentially inferior product for reasons other than suitability for a particular purpose, such as for personal image or self-esteem.

May not necessarily apply to Ferrari, since they are often sold as status symbols as well as higher performing vehicles.

"Near the end of those four years, once people don't think Radeon is worse than nVidia, that's when the Ferrari effect would matter. But it doesn't matter if people think badly of your brand." - Moore's Law Is Dead
