      I don’t understand how this is related to the Streisand Effect. The Streisand Effect is when you try to suppress unflattering info about yourself, and in the process you call attention to it, so now everyone knows. But we didn’t learn about this through Jeep trying to suppress the info, we just learned about it from people who saw the ads.

        That is the photo Barbara Streisand attempted to have removed from the internet, the effeft gets its name from this event and photo.

            Welcome to lemmy comments. Someone else incorrectly mentioned the Streisand effect so this guy decided to be cheeky and post just the photo.

      What’s really funny is that the only thing I even know about Barbara Streisand is that picture.

      The Streisand Effect has immortalized her to a whole new generation.
