They've gotten very good at grabbing attention with cover art, but then you click on it and quickly realise its crap.
In other words, they've put appealing covers on all the boxes, so now you pick ones that are crap only to abandon them 20 minutes later.
I wonder if abandonment rate is a metric too.
