One thing it's good for is when you read a book, hate it, and can find someone on Goodreads with a review that gripes about the exact same stuff you hated about it. Especially if the book in question is highly praised or award-winning. Do I need someone else to validate my hate-read of a book? No, but it scratches an itch.

- aspenmayer 3y agoI do this same thing for IMDb and Letterboxd, and it’s fun, I get to find others with similar tastes in movies and TV shows, and I appreciate reviews of content I like and dislike vicariously without having to feel badly about not having seen the content myself.
