    I share the sentiment. But it’s a little tacky to call for a Streisand effect. It’s like saying “guys, I’m a cool dude, right?!”

    Edit: bros, I know what the Streisand effect is. I just think it’s tacky that someone says “hey, let’s go Streisand effect on this person!”

      Its the literal definition of Streisand effect. For example, I had no clue who this guy was till I read the story about him suppressing media.

        I know what it is. I’m saying that it’s tacky to ask people to make it happen. Not that it happens.
