Personally, my interest in language learning comes and goes. Doing the minimum to maintain a streak prevents me from forgetting too much before my interest returns.

Gamification including social aspects if youâre a regular app user.
Abusive ex if you arenât a regular user.

I fucking hate the gamification they did to Khan Academy. Just give me the knowledge map back.

At one point it was gamification to tie the reward center of your brain into continuing to train using the app. Now it seems that itâs half that or half en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern to get you to pay to keep that reward system going.
