A streak where you actually learn every day makes sense to me. Missing a day and then paying money to maintain your streak doesn't. I know I missed a day, and if the streak isn't for me, then who is it for?
The thing is... when you're actually learning, the learning itself provides the dopamine hits generating a positive feedback loop to keep coming back and doing more learning.
Gamification of the streak itself means its wholly unnecessary for the app to facilitate learning to produce engagement.
Duolingo is the junk food of language learning. Always has been.
