They do not have Jeff's ear, nor do they have a direct line to his pocketbook. What Bezos COULD do for Goodreads with more of his money has no bearing on what the volunteers at Goodreads CAN do without it.

It's not the stockboy's fault his rich boss doesn't run the grocery the way you think it should be run. Punch Bezos, not the volunteers at Goodreads.
NO ONE has blamed the volunteers - no one is "punching the stockboy". NO ONE has said it's their fault that Amazon is owns Goodreads, profits from Goodreads, and could, if it chose to, enhance the Goodreads experience by fixing problems like this.

And I say all that as a disinterested observer who deleted my GR account 5 years ago
