So tiktok is what Gen Z decides to actually put their collective bargaining power together to fight the government over? Not... Anything else of import?

The most important thing in Duolingo's chart on social media is the fact that they didn't show the unit. How much are these 216% in absolute numbers? (If there are 100 learners, you can easily increase that by 200%, but the total number remains still meaningless.)

With better numbers, this article is useless, except maybe for Chinese propaganda.

The CEO is AI pilled now but i guess most users dont learn a ton from lingo as it is and slop would be as effective for some users

Maybe they'll use this opportunity to improve the course. It's not bad but it could be better.
I think I read somewhere that the Spanish course is the most advanced?!
Not sure but it does feel better and fuller that's for sure, and it has a lot more audio bits and fun stuff like that.
