Anime screenshots as official promotional material

Anime screenshots are currently listed as borderline content in the upload rules, and the anime screenshot wiki itself does not mention anything about them being strictly prohibited. I understand why people posting their own random screenshots, crops, stitches, etc. is frowned upon, but are official, properly sourced screenshots generally viewed the same way?

From what I can tell, a lot of people seem to agree that they're just as pointless as "just" posting screenshots. Personally I also don't really see much difference between official accounts posting screenshots and users posting them.

Honestly it depends on a case-by-case basis. Often it's not anime screenshots, but key visuals or officially stitched versions/stuff that'd be hard or impossible to obtain from the anime.

Think of it that way: the rationale for anime screenshots being frowned upon/useless on a site like this is that anyone can just take the original anime and create their own screenshots effortlessly. If an official account is posting a detexted or high resolution version that's not widely available, that argument loses a lot of weight.

I definitely agree that in case something of value is added it's absolutely fine. Texless, higher res, etc. Something like post #7897408, which is just a mediocre quality screenshot at source resolution with a copyright notice added, not so much.
