Reyan Effect

The "Reyan effect" describes a situation where Reyan's extensive talking prompts others to talk more. It also applies when Reyan teaches, resulting in collective misunderstanding. Essentially, it signifies a communicative cascade influenced by Reyan's actions. This term captures the dynamics of heightened interaction and potential confusion in such scenarios.

Reyan: Hey did you get level 10 on our favourite game because i did and it was so hard to do it but i finally got it! But i have to warn you it’s so hard to get and stuff so get other stuff before you get level 10 and stuff because it was so hard to get bro and yap yap yap.

Person: Yeah i know i’m grinding for this and that so yeah thanks for that so now i know it’s really hard to get and yap yap yap yap.

Person2: Lol he is getting the Reyan effect.
