This makes me pretty sad - Goodreads was awesome back in the day.

    Honestly, you can say same thing about any page, app that let users write reviews. There will always be trolls, review bombs, corporate buying reviews etc. I have bigger problems with goodreads as app itself.

      I think it’s also impossible to know who actually did read a book and who didn’t. Hard to keep something like this both fair and open without strict moderation, and almost nobody wants to do that for free.
