Its called spaced repetition. Its helpful for people to remember something over repeated learning.

If you find it too easy, you can choose to jump ahead or find better alternatives.

I know spaced repetition, but it's too much repetition and not enough space. The jump ahead feature is bad because you just do the quiz twice until you success then you jumped without knowing previous stuff and you're stuck with once again slow minded repetition just that it's now a more "advanced" vocabulary

Fair enough. I have benefited from Duolingo as a practice tool. But I do see Duo being tedious for people who truly wish to progress faster.

I think it's definitely better than nothing, but it's not enough to learn any language. Some people might have a legit use for it
