My title might be a bit hyperbolic, but stuff like this worries me. I love to read and I love reading on a kindle. This has been going on for a while, but it has now reached absurd levels.

It would make it even more important to have sites like Goodread where books are recommended by communities.

There's even a federated alternative, BookWyrm!

...I guess these days the Fediverse is my hammer of choice, and every problem with the internet is a nail.

To be fair, it a REALLY good hammer.

Unfortunately it is extremely sparse vs goodreads. Maybe someday it will catch up, but I really didn't find it useful right now. Then again I am def a lurker on goodreads so where I read lists and reviews from doesn't matter that much.

I guess what I don't get is what were people using GoodReads for? Because I'm using BookWyrm to just track what I already wanted to read and use the review system as a way to sum up books for myself.
