okay, so i will admit i send postcards to post secret because it is really freeing to just send shit that has been bothering you out there. i also like to look at the secrets that get posted on the site because it is pretty cool to see these little intimate scraps of people's lives.
but am i the only person who is made uncomfortable by the fact that little mr. warren is making all this money of of other people's work? and the fact that all the archives are inaccessible so that people will be forced to buy his books to get their acceptable voyerism on? and that as the site gains more and more popularity the secrets get more and more socially acceptable and insipid?
basically i feel like this beautiful thing that was so cool a couple years ago has blown up and becaome trendy. |
