There's nothing about logging your reading on Goodreads or participating in the annual GR challenge that is incompatible with either of those things...

But I'm sure for some people, including the author, find the 'social challenge' aspects too tempting.
For a couple of years, I participated in the Goodreads Reading Challenge. But I found myself paying too much attention to book length in order to increase my numbers, so I stopped.
I like reading challenges like astrangerhere's Storygraph reading challenge. I think of it as a sort of organized reading list for the year.
