- It sucks at recommending books. You may stumble upon some book in the home feed, but its recommendation is as good as if it didn't exist.
- Lists suck. For example, it never anticipates even something as simple as abandoning a book (though you can create that).
- There's like a whole industry of faking ratings and nobody cares about it enough to do anything about it.
- It's owned by Amazon, but Amazon basically didn't touch it since the acquisition almost a decade ago.
Well, they did so recently to kill the API access, which was its #1 selling point to me. I liked using it by not visiting their ugly design ever, but that's not a possibility anymore.
