I read most your comment thinking you meant staring at random people in public, so I'm glad you're not 'that person on the bus'.

The power of close-ups and portraits in art, from television and movies to paintings, is that it let's you get an intimate view of somebody's eyes and face that you wouldn't otherwise get without a willing partner. So it doesn't surprise me that people are monetising it, but I fundamentally distrust spiritual works that aren't free and open to all.
