StoryGraph was solely developed by a black woman and as far as I can tell she is the sole owner. A wonderful alternative with some great features not offered by Goodreads!
Thank you very much. I learned quite a bit from the article. I've never really used goodreads past glancing at overall scores @ Amazon. I do suspect a lot of review sites are this way and have witnessed certain movies get review bombed by groups of people who most likely never saw the flick. Sad.
With my second book I got review bombed bad before anyone even had review copies. All it took was my book to get featured in a preview on the site. I reported it and never got a response.
Well, I read about your books on Amazon yesterday and had added them to my wish list. Consumers are awakening to the truth of reviews.
Monopolies, greed, lunatics and bots are making intelligent people take more and more of the info. gathered from the internet with a grain of salt.
I don’t get to choose whether or not racist mobs 1-star my book a year before it’s available. And if I had to choose the admins would have been responsive when it happened. I do find harmless jokes cathartic tho.
been on that app for 15 years and have watched so many POC get 1-star review bombed while they did nothing. buy tom cotton was getting that treatment last night and they halted all interactions on his book. that app is a joke and I’m sorry that happened to you.
