As an avid Goodreads user, Id say 80-90% of active GR users are female teenagers. Id suggest promoting on booktwitter or booktok instead if you want more traction. There’s also StoryGraph in the running with the same if not more features and a pretty strong network effect already, but still miles away from GR. GR is the laggiest platform I have ever used, and the tech updates are minimal at best, but people still use it primarily because of the network size. Just pure network size. |

Lol, I would have said "50yo vanity-obsessed male geeks" instead, judging by the activity in my feed.
I recently made a bit of an effort to use GR a bit more, to go through some of the challenges and increase my reading rates. The anglocentrism is tiring, though - all the "best" lists are dominated by mediocre Anglo writers. If I remember correctly, when "social lit" sites first exploded, they had basically segmented by language - I know Italians used Anubii rather than GR, for example. I picked GR because I was still somewhat in love with the anglosphere, I think I'm ready to move to something a bit more "i18n", but it's not clear what that might be.
