Helsingin Sanomat's most-read story on Tuesday morning offers readers a sneak peek behind the curtains of Finland's "completely transformed" pornographic industry.

It is "almost certain", HS tells us, that there is more pornography being produced in Finland now than ever before — and most of it by a small but fast-growing pool of content creators, using websites such as the content subscription service OnlyFans.

Minttu tells HS that she has supported herself through porn for about eight years, and watched the industry grow from the domain of a "couple of odd" pornstars to a scene where "creators" are everywhere.

Much of the "collaborative content" is orchestrated via a WhatsApp group containing about 140 members, HS writes, where performers can find each other and decide if they have enough chemistry to produce a joint venture.

"Then, they agree on the ground rules: STD tests, contraception. Next: what is the goal of filming? Are there any ideas or requests from subscribers? Where is the video allowed to be shared?"

No money changes hands between creators, HS adds, but instead both parties gain access to the resulting content and share it on their own accounts.

But how much money does a 'content creator' make?

Tinka Mäkinen, who tells HS she has been making pornography for four years, notes that many people, "especially young women in their 20s", are attracted to the industry by the idea of easy money — but making a living from porn requires time and effort, she says.

"It’s a funny misconception that you can just post a couple of pictures on your account and money will start rolling in. It just doesn’t work that way," Mäkinen says, adding that she makes "several" thousand euros per month from her OnlyFans content alone.

"This isn’t an office job, but being an entrepreneur, a 24/7 job," Mäkinen says.

HS also notes that the "pornification" of Finnish culture has seeped into other parts of society as well, including politics.

Jirka Hakala, a former special adviser to Centre Party leader Antti Kaikkonen, stepped down from his position earlier this year following tabloid revelations that a pornographic video was filmed in his apartment.

Living with a ghost

Tampere-based Aamulehti meanwhile informs its readers of a curious loophole in Finland's residency registration laws, which could see you living with a "ghost".

This is exactly what happened to Tarja Juvonen, AL writes, after she moved into a terraced house in the Alinen area of Nokia about ten years ago.

She soon discovered however that another person, an unknown man, was also registered as living in the apartment with her.

"I started to wonder when mail started arriving at the apartment from places like a pizzeria. They seemed to be bills for food ordered by phone. I took the letters to the Nokia post office and explained that the man doesn't live at this address," Juvonen tells the paper.

But the mail kept coming, and Juvonen began to worry that her "ghost" would affect her housing allowance. Eventually, she discovered that the previous tenant had not filed a change-of-address notification when he moved out.

This is not an uncommon occurrence, as thousands of people move home every year in Finland and many forget to submit a change-of-address notification, but AL notes that the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV) does not necessarily verify the information it receives or doesn't receive.

This means, for example, that someone can tell the DVV that they have moved into your apartment, and be legally registered as having done so.

Such cases are "extremely rare", a DVV spokesperson tells AL, but these "ghosts" can have a negative impact on the actual residents of a dwelling — especially in relation to social welfare benefits.

An eye-opening political photo

Iltalehti is one of many papers to report that Finland's Employment Minister Matias Marttinen (NCP) posed for a photo alongside a work experience student who had been shadowing him last week.

Or did he?

Because the photo, which was posted on the minister's Facebook and Instagram accounts, contains some oddities.

Marttinen's right leg, for example, appears to cut off just below the knee and there is an almost halo-like light outline around his head. The floor and carpet behind him also bend in a strange way.

The minister's staff explained that his assistant took two photos of Marttinen and the work experience student, but one or other of them had their eyes closed in both of the resulting photos.

So it seems someone among Marttinen's staff, with less-than-stellar Photoshop skills, decided to blend the two — a decision which ultimately led to the photo getting far more attention than it would have.
