Amazon isn't niche, so even if there is, say, some guy who reviews protein powders on Amazon, and you're really into protein powders.
I've never met anyone who actually cares about a general product critic. My understanding is that GoodReads is one of the most gamed review sites on the Internet.Īmazon has a concept of Influencer Reviewers, but they should almost immediately recognize this as bs. I'd have liked to see some analysis of abandonment rate normalized for reading complexity, but that's hard to characterize. Between "hard to read" and "massive bestsellers, but require a reading age >12" we basically cover the obvious bases. (As to the list of abandoned reads, it's not surprising that the top five by ranking are all major bestsellers: and the shrunken, posterior proportions are for books with a difficult literary style to grapple with - in other words, they're not easy reading. Goodreads reaction to complaints by (verified) authors about this sort of abuse is to deny all responsibility. which aren't actually written yet, so these are basically fakes.
One author of my acquaintance has been the victim of someone who has created at least six fake accounts in her name (taking her name and profile pics), in an attempt to trash her reputation I've got off relatively lightly, but I've had one-star reviews posted of books of mine. Speaking as a working author, Goodreads is a dumpster fire.
