Klassenkampen thoughtfully provides us with an image of some of the titles in question which I won’t share here as it may not be to everyone’s tastes.but the titles should be picture enough. It is one thing is to offer such literature, quite another thing to advertise it. We are working on this now. Now Storytel says that, while it has no intention to remove erotica, it will instead actively reduce visibility on popular erotica titles. This is not deliberate in our part. It just shows that erotic literature in audiobook form is very popular (adding) at a general level, this is a challenge many digital services have, where one has lists that are managed automatically based on listening statistics. Storytel’s chief Håkon Havik, charged with promoting “sound porn” at the expense of other audiobooks, responded, (Or is it maybe they are popular because they get good visibility?)Īs ever, when algorithms are allowed to run the show, the results are not always desirable. Klassekampen asserts that because these erotica titles are popular they get good visibility. Norwegian novelists must fight for space with “Anal MILFs” and “First Timers” at Storytel: Taken on the bed of sound porn.
To mark the event Cupido tells us that 4,500 of Storytel’s 100,000 titles are categorized as “sensual”, referencing a report in the left-wing Norwegian news journal Klassekampen:
This month Cupido is launching what apparently translates as Cupido Handsfree – a great double-entendre if accurate. Cupido is a Norwegian site dedicated to all things sensual, and now that includes podcasts.
