How long before the Streisand Effect outperforms Barbra herself?
3 comments

One datapoint: I know about Streisand because of the Streisand Effect.
Make that 2. I knew about the effect for years before I learned who she was.
It outready outperformed the topic of this room for example
Not much - she's a boomer icon, but as soon as that generation kicks the metaphorical bucket...
Streisand was 22 in 1964 when her career kicked-off with Funny Girl. I think she (like Marvin Hamlisch) was more popular with the 'Silent Generation' (1928-45).
