I still love learning languages, and I used to recommend duolingo to every single person who asked me how I learned new languages, but the social media thing you mentioned is a brazen symbol of a company trying to over capitalize and over expand the system that already worked so well.

Nothing was broke, and they tried to "fix" it, and in addition to that, got rid of fun things like yeah the champagne tracksuit or other little bibs and bobs for no discernible reason.

I also practice exclusively on my phone.

I am glad it's still working for you, though.
