Warpcast

the introduction of streaks has lead to more generic/engagement farming content than real/interesting/authentic content. not good imo

feeling a similar forced obligation to retain power badge. which may be easier for some, but my social energy often cant keep up

yea, streaks in context of learning a language makes perfect sense. encourages consistency and knowledge is the reward.

what is the value to a user to use streaks in a social app? feels very beneficial for the apps engagement metrics vs healthy user behavior.

The only streaks I care is my duolingo and even that has a way to keep streaks if I take a break for a few days. Warpcast should have a way to hide the streaks if people don't care for it.

yeah I totally understand their goal, and enjoy ux experiments. I just can’t force content personally. Applies to art and social app interactions.

but they seem to listen well and adapt quickly so not too worried about it

I don't do streaks... I tried, but after my 3rd day posting it decided that i didn't post, even though i did, and the streak was broken. Fuck it.

same. sometimes you just don't have it in you for casting or anything. and the "obligation" feeling can easily just lead to people spewing out low-effort content that doesn't really help the vibe here

You have cool content, I think you should always be with power badge ⚡️
