Goodreads keeps deleting my friends. Ever since they instituted
the 5,000 friend limit, it’s been a personal gripe of mine. Other authors
definitely feel the same. Just look at Neil Gaiman who lost over 4,000 friends
on Goodreads when they lowered his friend count from 9,000 to 5,000.
The thing is, I keep getting new friend requests every
day, particularly from the cool folks I meet on Twitter who also want to stay
connected on Goodreads. However, if and when I add them, one of my other
friends gets randomly removed about a week or so later. Blah.
Anybody else having this issue? Any workarounds that you
have discovered? Don’t get me wrong, I love using Goodreads, but man I really wish they would change this
particular friend requirement.
