Goodreads, could you get rid of spam comments like these two ones?

It's super annoying when you go to check "community reviews" for a new release like Ready Player Two, none of those "reviews" are reviews, dozens and dozens of posts of people chatting negatively and positively about the book coming out and meme gifs; none of them from people that have actually read the thing. Then the reviews come later they get buried under the noise.

"Vaguely goth-adjacent vibes"? You are either a Goff or a Prep. Pick a side!
strange group of books not for me but i have heard of some of these and i know they are popular
Barely functional adult.In times like this were people comment and lose their shit over Petty things, sometimes a good pep talk is worth the try
I never thought that there will be a second book of Ready Player One but there it is and I am so happy! It's already the best book this year and I am soooo excited about it! Let's hope it won't disappoint

seems they got rid of them :)))
I wish Goodreads would branch out and not just go with popular books/authors. There are so many books under the radar that are amazing, and they never get a mention on these.

They also should take action against paid-for reviews that intentionally manipulate sales and the audience.

The idea: sell books. A lot of books. So 5-star reviews for ARCs, Galley proofs, and not-yet-published books will never go away. I hate it too, but just don't bother thinking it will change.
I do think GR could branch out somehow with their "Read This!" lists, but regardless of how you choose the author/subject/genre someone is going to say "but you left out my favorite author/subject/genre". I say search and search and search for interesting books, anywhere. GR has led me to many great books I would never have found any other way besides total luck. So while GR isn't ideal, it works as well as you allow it to. I think if people could be less "social media" about their reading - bragging about total books read, always gushing about an author who wouldn't know them from a person-shaped piece of kale, being more honest about reviews, making it more about the books and less about their brand - GR would be much better. But that is merely my opinion. So take it for that. Read! It is a privilege.
Yay! Finally got my copy of Ready Player Two.

As for me, I like The Awakening by Nora Roberts the most. It's an exciting fantasy. I've had some similar feelings when I've read Lord of The Flies at school. I've even written the research on this book with the help of https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/lord-of-the-flies/, as I'm not good at writing. This resource provides the best free essay examples for everyone.
