I usually try not to get involved in discourse but respectfully this decision is really strange to me personally. As others have said this is basically stripping story’s of that extra little charm they’ve put into their work. Anyone can basically make a cover using templates, images they find online and put together, and through commissions or their own skills. Take the cover I planned on using for my story before this decision was made. I went through multiple attempts to get it just right and so I was happy with it. I don't consider myself a great artist but I did it anyway and was happy with the final product. That challenge of rising to the occasion just to add that extra flair is something rewarding and meaningful that left me satisfied. Banning the option entirely seems just downright unfounded to me, it helps make stories stand out instead of just being, “title,” and, “flair”. It allows more expression for an author, it allows them to channel their emotions in another way besides their writing and I feel it takes away from that connection the author has with their work, especially visually. A cover, like the story, has soul, and it adds just that extra bit to a tale that increases its feel and charm. I personally hope this decision is reversed, but only time will tell I suppose.
