Angelina Mazza Reported On Why Goodreads Is Terrible But Actually Good
For Slate, Angelina Mazza wrote about Goodreads. She described it as “the clunky, much-maligned website I can’t quit.”
She told Study Hall, “I interviewed media scholars and authors to argue that its jankiness—the hostile UX and tedious, deliberate process of logging or searching for books—is exactly what makes time on Goodreads feel meaningful.”
Mazza’s writing has appeared in The Creative Independent, Longreads, Paste, and other outlets.
