Craig Mod built his own Good Reads (craigmod.com)

Specifically for his private social media that’s a benefit for his paid subscribers. 5 or 6 days of a few hours a day, with Claude.

Who?

If it's only for tracking books you really liked, it's not a Good Reads replacement.

Craig Mod is an interesting example of someone who makes a living online through "ethical" content production.

If you want a non-corporate alternative to Goodreads, there's a Fediverse one, BookWyrm: https://bookwyrm.social/

(I don't know how many people are using BookWyrm, but Goodreads itself seems half-abandoned. Maybe most of the publisher attention is on TikTok influencing now?)

Doesnt seem to overlap with good reads at all?

I find goodreads sucks at book recommendations, but excluding the books that some random twitter replacement didnt read doesnt seem like its going to make it good at book recommendations either.

Goodreads however remains fun for keeping me accountable with my reading goals, and nothing else has replaced that.

DCC - Yeah this isnt great. Yeah the litrpg genre was infested from the beginning with 20booksto50K people, and then LLM people.

Title: Go Knicks, A Better Goodreads, 'Cheap' Killer Films

https://thestorygraph.com is another alternative

I kinda like this guy's post with the quotes and references. It's pretty dense with interesting stuff.
