So, I read
postsecret from time to time. I remember it being somewhat better over the years. After observing several weeks of the secrets, I think I know how secrets make it to the main page.
((((D + (d^5))* lc) + S ) * P)/F = main page.
D = Serious Dramatic situation (Cancer, Spouses cheating)
d = Mad at parents/hyperbole dramatic situation, mostly Gossip. Maybe something about Sex.
lc = controversy that is aligned with Liberal beliefs and aspects (based on 1-5 scale) .
S = Sexy image attached.
P = Aesthetic or Creative quality of image/font on the postcard.
F = Frank is drunk, or Frank feels guilty that perhaps he is not being bi-partisan or neutral in his editing.
