Clubhouse Effect

The phenomenon wherein a piece of technology, in particular, an application is extremely popular initially due to hype, but quickly loses popularity and never regains its peak glory.
Threads is probably another example of the Clubhouse Effect.

the buffalo effect

Is when one buffalo leaves his smaller hunting pack in order to search for other dominant buffalo to create a super pack. Usually a lengthy process, this super pack works in together to achieve a common goal of supremacy of all other species in nearby land. Typically, the one buffalo who starts the super pack will more likely sacrifice himself to save the others from elimination.
When you see something that you have never seen before before your own eyes while awake but you know you've seen it sub-consciously in a dream or in sleep at a previous time and you say "That was the Buffalo effect" or when one person starts up a new way of conducting business & looks for others who are up to their superior level to start their own super-pack or society of alike business people to conduct affairs with. This is often a brutal journey with scores of smaller weaker buffalo left along the way.

Paul Ryan Effect

The accepted reality that promises made by Republican candidates won't come true. Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan claimed that he was a "Solid Conservative", when in fact he was a self-promoting sleazeball that lied for several years without any shame. Ryan promised great things in his campaigns, but the USA suffered severe losses during his tenure in Congress.
During 2024, Trump was out there making big promises about eliminating taxes on tips and Social Security payments. Now we see the Paul Ryan Effect in action. Tips and Social Security payments are still being taxed and there is no fix in sight.
