To potentially hit some more nerves, it seems to me that goodreads has some sort of inflated ingratiating status.
To quote Wikipedia:
"Goodreads is an American social cataloging website and a subsidiary of Amazon that allows individuals to search its database of books, annotations, quotes, and reviews."
Book sales, book sales, and book sales for Amazon is surely the raison d'etre.
What I'm saying is, that's the lense goodreads existence can be considered in.
