since around 2018 every time anyone tries to code anything it just turns into an AI or metaverse thing, existing examples of functional software are now irreplaceable relics. I just tried to make a hello world program for old times sake and it compiled into a chatbot that keeps pushing me to click malformed links to Andrew Tate videos

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


OP this is what the book forum here looks like

I think you might have to accept that the problem isn't the platform it's that this is what you get when you get a group of self-described "book people"
