fuck you duo


Edit: I thought it would be more obvious. I’m editing this so an apparent ad won’t appear in anyone else’s feed but for posterity here is my original linked gif (with the game name now edited out):

    Just use the desktop edition, add an ad blocker and there you go. Or use a different app, DL has enshittified into oblivion.

    I’m mildly infuriated not knowing what’s mildly infuriating, so maybe an upvote and a downvote? Or 2 upvotes for 2 infuriations?

    wow ok, I thought the taps on the broken x button would have spoken for itself

    Edit: or was it that “fuck you” too extreme for a mild community? Honestly curious.

      The whole post is vague and bad. You have to open it to see what you are talking about. So everyone scrolling by is downvoting you.

        I clicked on the post instead of scrolling by and I am still incredibly confused.

            What’s the relation of this gif in your post to the static photo? It’s this an ad in the Duolingo app or something? It’s hard to make the connection to that. And this part of the gif is small and in the corner. All you need next time is a bit more of a description!

        I forget that people browse full card-like posts. For me you have to open any post.

        Here’s what I should have posted:

          And maybe put on the title that you cant skip the ad. Then in the body call duolingo stupid 👍 i knew what it was cause sometimes when I’m bored and one of those gets through my pihole I’ll play it like I’m a five year old.

      It’s not apparent at all what is going on. I know this is an ad because I’ve seen this ad before. My first thought was I thought you were were just mad that you got an ad. It probably looped 4 times before I came to the comments for clarification.

      Yeah I don’t see it. I’m assuming Duolingo messed up your game but it’s not obvious?
