This definitely deserves a deep discussion. Get to the bottom: is it good, bad, is there a better way to implement?
I can speculate that, for many people, just getting a triple-digit streak is a big win.
Even if they drop for a year, or even forever, after losing it.
They wouldn't have accomplished the feat without the streak metric.
I don't have any data. As I said, it's speculative, but perhaps reasonably possible to be the case?
- adastra22 4y agoIdk. Data point of me: I’ve kept up with other review apps that don’t have the streak counter longer. But obviously there’s a lot of confounding factors.
