Influence of Streisand
Have you heard of the Streisand Effect, in which people’s natural curiosity is piqued when you try to hide something from them? It’s named after Barbra Streisand, who tried to have photos of her home removed from the web but instead made people curious about seeing and sharing them.
Just five minutes ago, this woman’s home had absolutely zero appeal to me. I can’t wait to check it out in person now that I know she has been trying to hide its location from Google Maps. Even if it’s just to see her platinum reindeer, perhaps we should all take a field trip and check it out.
