I ended up doing duolingo for an hour tonight because it kept giving me exp boosts and I had to keep it going Dx I got almost half of my total exp just now lol. I still have 35 minutes of double exp but nahhh I gotta sleep.

This is why gamification of anything is a horrible idea.

You get 1-2 days, where the assigned dopamine goal is mis-aligned, and tada... you have a complete burnout.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy I don't mind gamification, but games should respect your time.

There is a problem with terms. Gamification is a managerial term, where the game mechanics are used to push you further and "motivate" your behavior. Therefore, a pressure is inherit in it.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Well then you must forgo capitalism because the mechanics of a raise are motivation for many people and have been since the inception of such things.
