I was never a heavy GR user because it felt like homework for reading, but I used to really enjoy reading user reviews on books I particularly disliked. Some of the reviews were more well written than the thing being reviewed. It makes me so upset that amazon is now profiting off of the dedication of the GR community.
Idk, I've run into several garbage audiobooks (garbage from the writing) that are reviewed highly on Goodreads
