I don’t need to be mistaken for a native but at least I’ll be a tourist who’s _trying_. The hate comes from the fact that Duolingo positions itself as something that can do much more for you than that -- "The world's #1 way to learn a language" in fact, from its marketing materials. When in reality it just doesn't do all that much. And there are infinitely better (albeit less passive) ways to learn a language.
