npub1yj3ef752qmwc20rvy9t4f6gtmhwjt5mcz052plyk80v7pl9ksn4sz2cmfd (npub1yj3…cmfd) Goodreads is rubbish. It's been rotting slowly ever since Amazon bought it. There's no review moderation process. So I've got one-star reviews of books I haven't written (the publisher database farted before the book was cancelled), dragging my average down, because GR is routinely brigaded by trolls.
Luckily reader engagement on GR seems to be about zero so I suspect its impact is massively overrated by publishers.
