alt Hacker News> That's a book a day (give or take), per account. No human author is publishing a book per day.
Suppose you're a 50 year old human author who has published a book a year since you were 18, and would now like to start selling them on Amazon for the first time. Should they hold you up for multiple years because you're rate limited to uploading one a month?

That's such an unreasonably niche and unlikely situation to justify letting the rest of your customers drown in slop
That'd be like saying a forum can't have rate limits for posts because someone may write 10,000 discussion topics over a year and post them all at once.
The example is disingenuous. It's a tradeoff we have to make, and there's not many 50 year olds hoarding their masterpieces.
