hi it's Divya G! What does the g stand for? The g stands for
goodreads, an app which we all hate to use but we have to because they're basically a huge monopoly
at this point. All right so here's my goodreads account greetings loved ones let's take a journey!
When you first go onto goodreads the biggest problem with me is my eyes don't know where to
look! You know when you go to like like an asian restaurant like an asian takeaway and they have a
menu that is the size of the british encyclopedia and there's pages and pages of options and choices
and I'm like I don't know where to look I'm just- please
it gives me facebook vibes and i don't like facebook you'd think that baldy bezos with his
billions and billions would invest some more money into goodreads seeing as amazon.com owns goodreads
as well. Now, to be fair i think the goodreads app did have a little bit of a ui upgrade a
couple a year a year or two ago but i feel like sometimes it's like you know when you sprinkle
sprinkles on like a pile of [ __ ] and you're like oh wow look i made chocolate cake looks a bit like
chocolate cake now but then if i cut into it and i eat that pile of [ __ ] with sprinkles it's still
the foundation is just a pile of shh so ellias said that the house in the cerulean sea made him
cry so i was like 'i love me a book that makes me emotionally drained and you know feel something
okay 2020 reading challenge i've completed two whole books i'm two books behind schedule
If you guys have suggestions of what i should actually read please let me know
i've been away from booktube for so long that i don't even know what is good anymore the thing is
yeah i put five as like a joke because i was like five books in 2020 i'm gonna read more than five
so here are the books that i've read this year i've read...
this thing. the ballad of the songbirds and snakes. And the other thing yeah let's talk about
the updates. I feel like it wants to be twitter. I have to do a lot of reading and it's like..
what do you think i am? a reader? i so okay- *dissolves with frustration* oh god! look
at this page. If any one of you is wanting to travel back in time but you don't have a tardis
just go on goodreads. What is this?! why is it so small? Expand it! this is ugly this is ugly
this is ugly. So let's say i want to reply to lauren. I'm like "let me reply again" why is there
html tags? Okay, firstly, I take computer science so it's not that deep for me to be able to do this
but for the average user like imagine you go on goodreads and not only do you just want to update
your reading progress and see what other people are reading but you need to learn how to do html
as well just to be able to use the damn site. Like if i keep pressing reply it just keeps on going
but then when i do reply why does it say message one and then it says message two and
then it says "lauren wrote this" why can't this just be a reply bubble underneath that message?
This section screams like "i'm doing a web dev module and this is my first web dev assignment".
Not only is this giving me fax machine vibes but what's horrible is let's go on browse.
Um give me some recommendations boo. I feel like my sims 2 expansion pack downloaded faster than
goodreads loads and this is back in 2006 yeah. My interest in art means that i'm gonna like tintin!
Or like i like contemporary so they just give me the most generic book like look at it. Based
on my favorite show i'm gonna like the hunger games official illustrated movie companion.
You know why i'm gonna like this book? Because i added the hunger games onto my shelf
telling me i'm gonna like this book that just has photos of the hunger games movie when i
can just... watch the hunger games movie. You would think amazon like daddy Bezos baldy Bezos
egghead humpty dumpty Bezos with his billions would be able to fund a little bit of money into
goodreads. There is no passion there is no vision there is no aggression there is no [ __ ] mindset.
As long as it means that i you were gonna recommend me books that i'm actually gonna enjoy
steal my data take my dna take my hair strands i don't mind. I feel like goodreads tries to squish
everything into one screen like you remember when you guys had to do like posters in year 7
you had to make a poster about like world war ii or whatever and you would get the word document
and you would get the margins because they said you know fit it all onto one side and you would
expand the margins expand everything and just make text like font size 10 9 and just put everything
all into one. Honestly if you want to start a book club or whatever goodreads is not the
place to go you're honestly better off starting off a book club on twitter or even on discord
it is considered a social media platform
but it just doesn't make anything easy. It doesn't make replying easy, it doesn't make making a post,
easy it doesn't make keeping up with your friends easy. Anyway as you can see i have 656 friend
requests on goodreads now i'm not trying to say i'm popular i just have not looked at
my friend request for like five years. If you want to be my friend you have to tell me like
the best joke that you know So tara said what rock group has four men that don't sing? mount rushmore
hold up yeah i swear there's like a limit of how many friends you can have which is five thousand
and how dare goodreads think that i can't have more than five thousand friends like what i
don't know who you're talking to you're talking to it's divya g! lose like 300 subscribers every
month... you don't know who you're talking to *crying* you- don't- know who you're-
bleep is so good it make ferb talk .no no no what have you planted in my head?! you know
what i'm imagining now? i'm imagining like a... *vomits* that's about as much as we're gonna be
doing today the coffee's worn off and now my my seasonal depression has kicked back in. I want
to know what you guys hate about goodreads like what is the most annoying thing that you think
about goodreads? what do you guys think about goodreads reviews because whenever i review a
book i give it like a one sentence. Baldy needs to invest more money into the system architecture of
how goodreads works they need to use netflix. I feel like the goodreads recommendation system is
so bad i feel like my dead dog from nepal would be able to recommend me better books than goodreads
can that's just how deep it is. You know rest in peace. I'd love to hear your thoughts hope you
guys are staying safe and i'll see you next time i thought that drinking like a load of coffee before
