Why should books be the exception?

Thus, for the newer generation, depending on a book review by one person in any publication doesn’t quite convince. Because reading today is not the same as it was long ago. Readers are segregated in their tastes, a book that appeals to one will be distasteful for another. And that’s why people would prefer to look to an instagramer’s review, because by looking at the posts one can decide whether the person has similar tastes.
Also, gone is the cliche about not judging a book by the cover. In a world where appearance means everything to the extent that people will go to any extent to alter their looks to be Instagram worthy, why should books be the exception to this fact?
