Good to know that as a self-published author myself that the quality of any site is going to drop as soon as I put my book on there.

Every other book I read now is by an author with NO rating, I have read six this year, none were memorable, or my cup of tea I will give you that, but two of the four- or five-star offerings on Amazon were just as bad. As they say, if you don't open an oyster, you will never find a pearl.

If you want to go to the work of creating a curated selection of high-quality, contemporary, self-published, public domain books no one is stopping you.

That's not the niche SE has chosen to target. You can't expect them to serve every possible use case.
