Knowing how prone they are to this kind of crap, I wanted to wait and see what it'd say when my streak ran out, I wasn't disappointed

    If you use the duolingo widget you can watch duo drop down a depressive spiral until they eventually die alone in the desert. It's my favorite part of the app.

    I uninstalled the app years ago and still see this in the play store.

    Alot. Which is a shame because the app used to be decent a little over a decade ago. I remember using it back in highschool before the gamification and, without paying, it would let you access community forums, review lessons, and a lot of other features now locked behind a paywall or gone entirely.

    I still remember when the heart system was first introduced and getting pissed that i had to essentially get everything right to keep moving forward in the lesson or pay to refill my hearts. I uninstalled when it became 3 wrong answers and youre done for the day without payment.
