Image description: The image shows a Kindle e-reader displaying a page of text, likely from a book, with a portion of the text visible in a non-English language. Overlaid on the image are two text boxes with stylized red backgrounds and white lettering. The top text box says, "To combat chatGPT generated books on the kindle store, Amazon only allows users to publish 3 books ~per day." The second text box sarcastically says, "You know, a totally normal human output," accompanied by a rolling eyes emoji. There is also a graphic of a skeletal hand with a pink hue pointing towards the text boxes, adding emphasis to the message being conveyed about the volume of publication and questioning its normalcy.

If you are a large publisher like Random or Penguin, you not only get human interaction but you probably have a dedicated team of reps for support and contact. Of course they get exceptions, it makes Amazon money. (And I’m not even mad, that’s not even scummy from a business perspective)
Little unknowns dont get this treatment until they prove themselves.
