Why does english Booktok sucks?
I speak three languages so my algorithm shows content in different languages. I’ve noticed that english language Booktok usually recommends books that I honestly wouldn’t want to read. Also it‘s very anglo centered, barely any books translated from different languages. When I compare them to the books that non english speaking content creators recommend the quality in book recommendations and analysis is amazing. I‘ve discovered books written by authors from all around the world, from Nobel Prize winners to debut authors, different genres, etc. Has anyone else noticed it? Can it be explained by a different literary culture?
