However, the genre is not without its critics. Some dismiss these stories as low-brow, melodramatic "audio serials" that recycle tired tropes of possessive lovers and weeping heroines. There is a concern that they present an unhealthy, obsessive model of love, where constant availability and jealousy are mistaken for passion. Furthermore, the anonymity of the medium has, in some cases, given rise to problematic content, including manipulative "pick-up artist" guides disguised as romantic advice or storylines that normalize stalking (a persistent issue in mainstream Bengali cinema as well).
