Looks like Amazon’s AI is getting smarter against main images. Tried submitting 3 ASINs for an A/B test and all 3 got rejected - images that usually would have no issue. Get ready incase they really start going to town on your previous main images.

Me neither. I get more frustrated when they throw out the baby with the bath water and I have to fight tooth and nail to appeal some violation that I didn’t violate. Like an aquastat flagged for pesticide.
Yea. What worries me here is bots gone wild. Every single supplement from every single brand uses product rendering, not actual pictures.
I hope Amazon knows that…
Even Amazon’s PL supplements aren’t actual pictures.
Agree, but I don’t think that’s what @Rand meant.
These are otherwise allowed, it seems.
I have the terrible feeling this means all those generic place-holder images Amazon has placed on various book detail pages are now untouchable. Up until now, mostly they will automatically be replaced with any compliant image.
Yeah, they totally missed the point.
You’re saying you are submitting images of just the product, with nothing added to it, and that’s being rejected?
Please clarify. Based on the video you shared, it seems like the games sellers play with main images - adding badges, ribbons, etc - (we do this too to some extent), are being stopped.
Thanks
And compliant main images in books by default includes images that have text detectable by the Amabots 
Like showing an image of the product in packaging that contains text that would otherwise be prohibited? 
(This is my personal favorite image hack. #maliciouscompliance)
In our case, we might call out the servings bolder on the cap with an overlay. Always within the product image, and always with a background color that’s found on the label to try and trick the bot. That sort of thing.
It seems that you won’t get busted if you don’t try and change it according to that video Rand shared. Sticking with that for now… 
ETA - Big agencies have been telling their clients to add “Made in the USA” badges since the tariffs started. Those are all getting yanked down now as well according to my advertising manager that I just got off a call with.
Not gonna lie, tried it last week on a single product as a test, and it got suppressed…
To be fair, that specific prohibition technically went into effect a few years ago, though I suspect that Amazon might be becoming more vigilant about it, given…things.
