DuoLingo imo is kinda crappy anyway. Boring, repetitive, and terrible at teaching listening comprehension.

I can give it credit for getting people interested in language learning in an approachable way, but that's about it.

I mean this is by the guy who brought us CAPTCHA, are we all that surprised? Same playbook, just a different play. Skim some labor off the top.
