My pet peeve is not length or brevity, but uncertainty. What on earth IS it? Whodunit, vampires, cookbook? No idea, why bother wasting effort trying to find out.
Publishers 'Imprint' used to be some clue.
Harlequin, Better Homes and Garden, TOR Fantasy, Baen, Berkley Prime Crime, O'Reilly ....

With all the self pub, we lost that

And yes, stock photos lead to too generic covers.
Trees and Fog
The Hooded person
Sky or Stars

An experienced Art department on tap can be a plus.
