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.
My daughter keeps texting me screenshots of her “streak” achievements as if that means anything. And then when I ask her how to say something in German she barely knows a thing.
Duolingo is run by fucking idiots.
I hate this app so much now. It has become the poster child of enshittification by gamification.
Wait, is gamification bad now?
Always has been 👉
It can be done to a stupid degree. Duolingo defines the outer limits.

Lernt man den Grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht weil ich benutze das nicht.
Lernt man denn Grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht weil ich sie nicht benutze.
Fixed (although most likely not perfect, since that is always debatable).
Lernt man denn Grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht, weil ich es nicht nutze.
Thanks, why did you change den to denn though?
Makes sense. I read your comment as any gamification is shit; my bad!
