Can someone explain to me why Goodreads isn't garbage again?

The database is massive, there are a few great groups and you don't have to look at the reviews.

Because you never have to venture into the pleb part if it if you have a close group of lit friends and have actually good taste.

It is useful for keeping track of things or finding new stuff. The ratings and reviews should be completely ignored though. Unless you like seeing a guy named Chad bitching about how hard Ulysses is.

If you go to Goodreads to read the average joes reviews on books in bulk, you get what you deserve.

If you use it to collect /lit/izens so that you can spy on what they are reading and laugh at their plebness, use the recommendation engine which is quite good, and as a list mechanic, its a pretty good website.

should the period be inside the quotation marks in this scenario?

No.

YOU: CHERRY PICKED EXAMPLES

4chan is where people spam the word nigger unironically and Goodreads is where people post pompous bullshit like this unironically. If you're expecting any single website to have a good userbase then you are a fucking idiot. You're just more tolerant of 4chan's flavor of bad then Goodreads.

Checking the reviews on Goodreads is like checking the comments section on Youtube.

You just don't do it.

>>7777134
yes

Sometimes when I want to be mad at something I go on Goodreads and read terrible reviews of my favorite books. Otherwise I avoid that shit like the plague.
