Amazon and erotic literature

[M_K_Babalon]

I have like 80 books on Amazon. The only time I got in trouble was when I foolishly tried to sneak an explicit cover through.

That there is Amazons first "red flag" that shouldn't be there. One thing I've always seen kdp authors contend with, is book covers. I just read the threads and ask to myself; why do you want it to look like smut, when you know once kdp sees that womans ankle sticking out of that bed sheet, they bouta reject it, shadow ban the whole book, or remove it completely? Make that shit look like a Corona beer comercial. If they can see it, then the cc company can.
Why's that matter? Ah dunno what sense it makes, but you can buy sex toys off amazon and pay with Paypal, and yet, this same Paypal was gonna end OnlyFans for the porn. One reason erotica is hard to sell is because of puritan ass cc companies like PayPal and Patreon.
