This is a theme for Duolingo... and they have been overt about it for a long time (first vid is a ted talk from a year ago!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6FORpg0KVo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6FORpg0KVo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0UE2ZY3QB0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0UE2ZY3QB0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUsDbgGQmIM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUsDbgGQmIM (As an aside I hate that videos are now "source material" for a discussion... it feels somewhat lame). > wife began to complain about Duolingo feeling more and more manipulative and less and less useful. I think this is a great bit of insight into what a lot of what the web has become! If they had been more manipulative and stepped up the quality and utility of the product would that have been acceptable to remain competitive vs something like tiktok?
