I think it’s also impossible to know who actually did read a book and who didn’t. Hard to keep something like this both fair and open without strict moderation, and almost nobody wants to do that for free.

It was a different article but I remember a Goodreads librarian commenting that they were basically working for Amazon for free.

This is why I'm so conflicted about doing librarian work. Yay for putting things in order! Boo for free labor for a global behemoth.
