  • Just unsubscribed from duo, after a 1500 day streak, and 8 years being a paid member

    Sent them this email

    Just reaching out to let you know why, after years of subscription and a 1500 day streak, why I finally intentionally broke my streak and unsubscribed

    I joined early on, like 10+ years ago, and loved the weirdness of early Duolingo to learn Spanish, I ame and went, but always spread the gospel

    But over the last 3-4 years, duo has been showing the enshitifcation more and more. Going from a fun system to this entierly linear system, changes to the unpaid energy system, removal of comments and the forum

    Then, recently, pushing Duolingo max, removing practice for a max button, a service I don’t have, ever increasing of AI slop, removal of paid volenteers.

    I really loved duo, but hate to see it in this sad state. I loved learning a second language, and would continue to pay for it, but it’s clear you no longer view your self as a language platform, but just a way to make a quick buck

    Duo would cry if he could.

    Just going to copy and paste my previous comment, since it addresses what you say perfectly:

    STILL doesn’t affect the basic operation of the fridge, or the findings of the study i linked.

    I’m not saying these features are good, or that an AI fridge is worth buying… im just saying statistically, a modern fridge will have a similar lifespan as a fridge from the 70s

    Do i need to keep repeating myself?
