I think they're fine? I didn't say great. In fact, I did say that I don't think ML will ever live up to my friends' recommendations, and that's primarily what I look at on Goodreads. My news feed thing is a list of books my friends want to read, are reading, or have read and rated, and that's more than good enough for me. As far as the recommendations goes, I mean, I guess you could say I skip past most of them and only get the interesting ones, but at least the algorithm put it in front of me. Again, my bigger problem with Goodreads is the performance. I'd use it a lot more and interact with my friends a lot more (and thus get better recs from them!) if it was a speedier site.
