Of course not. As I wrote, in the comment you’re replying to, I was a user and evangelist of SRS for years but eventually saw the reverse.
It’s a very useful tool for a certain narrow niche of memorization tasks. However, it’s an extremely inefficient learning method over the long run compared to reading and using information or skills in context.

- AlchemistCamp 4y agoNot really. Given a fixed amount of review time per day, the largest deck you can maintain grows asymptotically over time, not exponentially.
- p-christ 4y agoDo you agree with the assumptions of the Anki scheduler? That each time you review a card you'll remember it for incrementally longer and longer? If so then a fixed amount of review time per day will let you remember things for longer & longer.
