I’ve ranked about 500 as well and I also think the recommendation system sucks. The most common explanation it gives for a book recommendation is that I’ve added some other individual book. I would want it to give me recommendation based off of multiple books based off of what people on the site who also liked those same books also liked. It also almost never updates.
Out of curiosity—you’ve ranked a lot of books on Goodreads. How well does its recommendations algorithm work for you?
Terrible. Their search is also pretty bad (colons, for some reason, are magical characters that make perfectly spelled titles match nothing at all).
