Just uninstall and stop engaging with Duolingo marketing.
Sometimes, the best way to make noise is to disappear first.
Great advice! I’ll do just that. Uninstalled.

So they’re trying to pivot from “we are firing all our translators and turing our app into AI slop” to "we’re anti establishment and anti CEO?

I’ll never use this garbage app now.
Hahahaha. God they really are so fucking stupid.
Like I love how nobody seems to question the expertise of CEOs. Like, I know the board structure, they consult experts and make decisions. That makes sense (I mean it has problems but it makes sense). But if you’re choosing a CEO for a Telecoms company, and the last job he did was being the CEO of a successful kitchenware company, I’m gonna question the degree to which this person can do their job well. There are so many CEOs who seem completely disconnected from the company they are in charge of.

I mean Duolingo has been riding the “questionable or insane marketing” wave for years. It’s hard to say if this is just them taking that a bit to far or if they really are of their rocker this time. I mean their ceo has generally seemed fairly based in the past as far as tech CEO’s go.
The TikTok post has been up for days by now. If this was truly a disgruntled employee posting against the company, it would have been taken down by down despite the passwords being changed. This is a corpo post.
Fucking click bait title
