I have a blog that has all my book reviews that I've written over the past ~17 years. It's got over 1000 reviews on it.
I post them all to Goodreads as well. Hardly anyone read them on my own blog.
It's convenient for me to have them all in one spot so I can export them and whatnot.
I've had one review that a successful blogger (now substacker) linked to and that probably resulted in more than half the hits the blog ever got coming in about two weeks.
Posting to Goodreads people seem to appreciate more. My reviews get some reaction a few times a week there.
A few people IRL know about my blog and reviews on Goodreads. I don't generally tell people about it but if people really read and it comes up I tell people.
I keep it largely separate from my Twitter account and Linked In profile.
