A question for the reading community — do you judge a book by its cover?

In practice, not in theory. Does cover art influence which books you pick up, which you scroll past, which you give a chance based on design alone before you've read a single word of the blurb?

Has a cover ever made you fall in love with a book before you knew what it was about? And has a beautiful cover ever let you down once you got inside?

I'm genuinely curious how much design influences reading choices, and whether readers and authors think about it differently.
