Yes, if Matt’s readers cannot construct an alternative to Twitter in this situation, then we have no real high ground from which to criticize the sheep-like masses who mindlessly use social media. In our case, there is no bureaucracy between us and Matt. We comment and he reads. We could have insisted that he simply post four separate posts, one for each book and we click “like.” No need for fancy poll-taking software. Just him and us.
Frankly I rather cringe at the perpetual use of "sheep like masses" to describe my fellow humans - does smack a bit of "elitism" doncha think?
In any case - I guess I don't understand the idea of a "book club" - I thought it was that a bunch of folks read the same book and then discuss it together ...
Implies that they are subject to being herded and we, the "woke" ones, the "enlightened" ones need to point them in another direction - sorry, a bit too elitist for me ...

If your fellow humans perpetually behave as sheep-like masses, what is the issue?

There is no "we" in the US. Hasn't been for some time. Common cause was done away with some time back.
The 'elitist' narrative sells well though.
I’m poking at ourselves.
Oh, sorry - can't always tell these days ... :)
