- kqr 6y agoYeah, this is my experience with duolingo too. I know in my head that all that extrinsic motivation only limits my intrinsic motivation, where the latter is what'll actually get me to learn something. Despite that, it's hard not to do easy exercises just to end up on the leaderboard.
- kubanczyk 6y agoI use uBlock/adBlock, so right click on the Leaderboard, create a custom filter and that's it, bye. Other features of Duolingo (the streak, the daily goal, etc.) play really well with my own intrinsic motivation, FWIW.
