Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It:
"I have only been on Goodreads since 2018 but since I joined there have been several major changes and IMHO, all of them made the site worse. Remember the old book pages? PM? Why does every change make the site worse? GR is becoming enshittified! But,"
