My title might be a bit hyperbolic, but stuff like this worries me. I love to read and I love reading on a kindle. This has been going on for a while, but it has now reached absurd levels.

What I don’t understand is who is downloading and reading these books?

My guess is: adventurous readers who are intrigued by a small snippet, then figure it out on page 2 after they’ve bought it already.

Judging by the article even the snippets are pure nonsense:

Black lace pajamas, very short skirt, the most important thing, now this lace pajamas are all wet.

It could be vastly improved upon with the new LLMs, but these are just complete rubbish.

It’s surprising to me that they didn’t at least have a human write/steal the title and blurb. You’d think that’d work better than books with obviously gibberish titles.
