Aside from the fact that design tastes and sensibilities change and now ignoring how generally authors have more creative control over book covers than before (not immediately a bad thing but not necessarily a good one either), artists are also just not being paid enough

Which is weird, because giving an artist more money and letting them go hog wild just seems like a better idea in my mind. Give em the info they need and ask for, pay em more, you get a cooler cover.

Writers are not being paid enough too, we're all in a similar boat, but It is still worth interrogating anytime somebody uncritically asks "Why Old Thing good but New Thing bad?", because in this case it's because people are neither asking for The Old Thing or being paid enough to make The Old Thing

I think designing for Instagram and Tiktok is also strongly influencing design patterns
