#2Specifically for his private social media that’s a benefit for his paid subscribers. 5 or 6 days of a few hours a day, with Claude.

Craig Mod is an interesting example of someone who makes a living online through "ethical" content production.

#7If you want a non-corporate alternative to Goodreads, there's a Fediverse one, BookWyrm: https://bookwyrm.social/
(I don't know how many people are using BookWyrm, but Goodreads itself seems half-abandoned. Maybe most of the publisher attention is on TikTok influencing now?)

This looks rad and very user drivrn.
I've been tracking with bibliocommons through my local library, but it has it's flaws. I can add books that any bibliocommons library has indexed, but there's no convenient way to search outside my library.

Thanks, this is neat. Goodreads seems to be get so little development attention these days that it's a miracle it still runs.
Interesting choice by BookWyrm to hide review ratings by default. I like it — I always felt that on Goodreads literature that's a little more challenging to tackle is reviewed very unfairly compared to easy-to-digest-but-content-light popular books or pulp fantasy. Making the default to have users read the contents of a review instead of glancing at an aggregate number seems like the right answer.
