Honestly, it seems like their principle lately is actually 'Do dumb shit'. They have been gradually making the app worse with the only goal being moving customers to the most expensive subscription tier. For example, I am a Super tier subscriber (not Max) and they decided that paying to not see ads doesn't apply to them showing ads for the Max tier. They also are pushing their AI (I think) 'video call' feature which I have no interest in. I have been a long term subscriber but I am not renewing in April. It's just not worth it anymore, and this doesn't even take into account issues with the language lessons themselves.
