Vsauce effect

When a video looks like it was created recently from the viewers perspective when compared to other media of present time but was actually produced with a larger time difference between it and the present. This is usually measured in the timescale of years. This is likely due to the specific area of discussion and the videos background which is used as our point of reference for determining its spot in the past not having a time specific aspect. These time specific examples we use involve trends such as fashion in relation to clothing and furniture which change often or trends in a media context which are included in the discussion involving an event occuring is their present time. In this case also the technology in cameras plays a role as from 2010 onwards camera quality improvements are not noticeable as we have reached a quality that exceeds the human eyes image quality. All these factors result in this effect as there is no telltale signs of the vidoes released date.
Wow, this video doesn't feel 10 years old, the Vsauce effect is trippy

The Wal-Mart Effect

When you've become a permanent employee of Wal-Mart - where you've paved your destiny by binding yourself to work there for the rest if your life, it is inevitable that you will become a fatty, a super fatty fat fatty, some could even argue morbidly obese fatty. This comes from the depression and misery & rollercoaster of negative emotions that comes with being employed with Wal-Mart. Every employee that works their way up in the store, undoubtedly, experiences The Wal-Mart Effect. Fattys.
Friend 1: Hey buddy, you've gained some weight since I seen you last!
Friend 2: Yeah, I got hit with the Wal-Mart Effect when I became a customer service manager.

Friend 1: Wow, our manager sure is a wide load!
Friend 2: Well yeah, every manager falls victim to The Wal-Mart Effect.

Manager: Go wash the windows.
Employee: Whatever you fat loser, if you don't kill yourself, The Wal-Mart Effect will claim you, fat ass.

Misused Autopilot Effect

This effect happens when consumers of a product (such as DAIN App or especially Telsa Autopilot) incorrectly uses a product, and unknowingly damages the reputation of certain software or products. The most notable case is Telsa's autopilot, where people are negligent and recklessly drive and get into accidents, damaging the reputation and credibility of those consumer products from news outlets reporting on these incidents.
James: "Ugh, another case of the misused autopilot effect! I wish people would start paying more attention while driving!"
Adam: "Yeah, isn't negligent driving, like, illegal?
James: "It is. It really is."
