Is "Duolingo for X" supposed to be a good thing?

Duolingo is just another mobile game, but pretending to be a learning app.

I think so. Duolingo for X means low friction, lots of positive feedback, and probably more healthy then doomscrolling

True, but "more health than doom scrolling" is like saying "more healthy than shooting yourself in the foot".
