Off topic perhaps, but what annoys me about Goodreads is that the rating system just doesn't work. Everything seems to be 4-5 stars.

You're relying on a whole mix of people, from tweens to teens to old goats, who may, or likely don't, have similar tastes.

A pointless exercise imo. Similar to going to reddit for reviews. It's not what you really want.

Hmm interesting; I wonder what a sort of weighted rating might look like, where the more similar another user is to you, the more weight their rating/review gets. That way everyone sees a custom rating, that's more akin to "what you're likely to rate this after reading it".
