how not a single one of you has made Better Goodreads. I loving hate Goodreads. The UX, the design, the communities it has fostered, all intolerable. Like half of you are computer guys. You could probably make money off books Letterboxd somehow, right??? If you do this you'll probably get into heaven. That's a pretty good reason. I gotta get lunch but can we think about this for like ten seconds

Play posted:The problem is that you need a lot of money to make and market a site like that even if it is poo poo. UI is terrible and dated and hasn't been updated since about 2008. It's supposed to be social media for books people but something about the way the website is attracts the most annoying clowns. Finding books is awful. Finding tolerable people who write decent reviews on the site is awful. It largely functions as a machine for terrible YA authors to give each other boosts and/or engage in public pettiness. There is no correlation between how any book is rated on that site and reality. Just thinking about it makes me mad
