Reply to comment by Shack70 in How do you rate your books on Goodreads? by pensieve64
What would you do instead of star reviews?

Stars aren't the issue, there are people reviewing books they haven't read. Books that are not even out yet with multiple 5 star reviews. Goodreads reviews and ratings are fundamentally broken. I choose not to contribute to it. The only thing you could do is verified reviews but since Amazon bought Goodreads that means people would be locked into the Amazon ecosystem and that still doesn't stop the bogus reviews and ratings. It just means they bought the book through Amazon.
