Hmm... this is an article about an app that grew in popularity in 2020 - 2022 and had a really huge jump around March of 2020. I wonder what exciting growth hack they added in March of 2020? Did anyone happen to see that in the article? I noticed several other apps, like Netflix, had jumps around then too. Did they subscribe to the same growth hacker newsletter?

COVID. People started spending more time at home and needed new ways of spending time.

  Pretty sure he was sarcastic mentioning also Netflix and it was rhetorical question.

It's only COVID if numbers go down, otherwise it is claimed as impact on self review.

As someone who picked up Duolingo on a whim at the start of the first covid lockdown as something to do with all the free time I suddenly had (and to escape from the doomsday messaging on TV news), I think this comment has more value than the entire OP. Coming up on Year 3 of Duolingo in a couple of weeks, and agree 100% that Duolingo has gone from a fun, language-learning app, to an over-gamified app that I use just to maintain my "streak" rather than to learn something new.
