I'd be willing to say that there are more people that know of Barbara Streisand for being Barbara Streisand than because of the Streisand Effect. That effect is a pretty niche kind of internet term whereas Streisand was proper famous well before the internet existed. Sure, you may have TIL who she was, but let's not swipe that broad brush so freely.

People 35 and under probably know her better from her effect or as a giant mecha on South Park.

He's being pedantic, it's a "what are the odds of Lou Gehrig contracting Lou Gehrig's disease?" joke, except without a punchline.

There's also a classic Liz Carroll reel, "Barbra Streisand's Trip to Saginaw": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr2RgTmO1pI (I was in the (Saginaw) audience the night Liz named it.)

Radio edit? https://youtu.be/OXB-k0oJ48E Yep, it’s a modern classic. :)

Here’s a “pop up” version of the music video with more details about the song: https://youtu.be/i_QOeWflG9g

I am 29 and have a slight clue of who she was, but I know (and known for a long time) exactly what the effect is.

In my opinion, in ten or twenty years this will shift even further and young people will know the Streisand name only because of the "effect".

I'm 57, gay, and I worship Barbra Streisand.

I'm 53, straight (male), and not at all into show tunes.

But I reckon I could still sing along with You Don't Bring Be Flowers Anymore and Woman In Love and get most of the lyrics right.

She's more my parent's era than mine, but like The Beatles and Cat Stevens, I grew up listening to my parents music...

I'm guessing anyone in theater/drama/choir classes in high schools today would also be familiar regardless orientation. Venn diagrams of those groups would probably look very circle-ish.

How long before the Streisand Effect outperforms Barbra herself?

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.

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).

Fwiw i heard the expression first and then assumed it’s something to do with the difficulty of getting tickets

People want to get tickets because ticket are hard to get

I think duck sauce song played a role here, but otherwise the Streisand effect is pretty well known and explainable.
