So this past week, I changed my profile to private and have only done the bare minimum on the app to maintain my streak. And the Duolingo app appears to have "dumbed down" my daily goals in response to my reduced activity.
For example, today I need to earn fewer XP to complete a goal then for past daily goals, shorter amount of time learning, and fewer "perfect" lessons. The goals were higher last week when I had to be more active so I wouldn't be demoted from my league.
Interesting.
