I'm doing my exercises constantly and diligently, so why has Duo become a crack addict?

So you'll open the app. Duolingo has changed the icon previously for the same reason. It makes people curious, so they open the app to see if anything is different.

And, like a vampire, you've then invited the bird back into your life for a couple of weeks

@halcyoncmdr @Roccobot I was feeling I should get back into my language learning but can’t bring myself to interact with that sick bird.

i hope they change the icon so I feel inspired to use their product again.

Duolingo is actively and nefariously designed around making you feel the need to open it.

It works, I've been doing it for 3 years and a half without skipping a day (but I got better with the language!)

@Roccobot That's cool. I have never seen this icon before. But also I'm on Android, and I know the ios version is better
