  I hate this app so much now. It has become the poster child of enshittification by gamification.

      It can be done to a stupid degree. Duolingo defines the outer limits.

        And it’s so true about Duolingo. They push you to “play” to a point that it’s stressful. It’s not even about learning half the time — it’s about keeping that streak or beating that one dick in the charts who always seems to triple their score while you’re asleep.
