I agree Goodreads is not broken. At least not for me. The answer is simple - it's single player mode is so strong that it's hard to usurp. A good comparison would be IMDb. Even if you dont have friends on Goodreads, you can do all the things you need. You can discover books, read what others have said about it, discover more books from the same author, read the quotes, find similar books, and as an add on, find a community you can discuss books in. Then there is a list, not as prominent but added feature of finding what others like. In terms of jobs-to-be-done, it serves everything perfectly. This is a huge underrated moat, and for any new startup, they have to usurp that. This moat is also why users stick and then the network effects kick in.
