Another one is the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion ; this is a more mainstream explanation: https://www.healthline.com/health/baader-meinhof-phenomenon

“In short, Baader-Meinhof phenomenon is a frequency bias. You notice something new, at least it’s new to you. It could be a word, a breed of dog, a particular style of house, or just about anything. Suddenly, you’re aware of that thing all over the place.

In reality, there’s no increase in occurrence. It’s just that you’ve started to notice it.”
