Yea it's become highly enshittified and actively punishes users that don't subscribe. Fuckers.
Can't speak for the entshitification but actively punished unsubscribed users?
I've been using it for two months, learning Germans, I just use Firefox in android instead of the app and I get no ads, only 5 failures but I rarely reach that on a daily basis (I don't want to burnout and I'm pretty sure it's better for learning to not go too fast) and if I ever reach it, I currently have 1k gems. I'm actually surprised at how little use I'd get out of the subscription.
There's a loud ad for "Duolingo super" that has a high chance of showing up after every lesson. Also using Firefox with Ublock installed, and it's still here.
Privacy Badger and ublock origin here, never ever got an ad on Firefox
I'll try out Privacy Badger. I never got an ad on Firefox except for this one.
