So the thing with their export feature (which is required by the eu) is that it's buggy and they made it hard for others. When I tried to import it to two different places, less than 10% of my books followed. Adding by hand thousands of books is a huge time investment. At this point, when I do it I'll probably move them to Gemini or something similar rather than trust another website like Goodreads.

When I moved to the Storygraph I used a Goodreads export. If I remember correctly, I just had to delete some extraneous columns and (maybe?) re-arrange some others. It was certainly worth doing over recreating the data from scratch, and I didn't have 4000 books!
I agree that Goodreads could do better with recommendations, but I keep wishing that Netflix's recommendations would come up to the Goodreads standard.
