Duolingo is valued at over a billion dollars by investors. The path is bad for some disabled people, and the reason they can't maintain both systems simultaneously is that their code is poorly architectured and they can't afford to fix it because of investor pressure. Their venture capital business model isn't sustainable. https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/duolingo-is-a-dutch-tulip-that-hates-disabled-people-b9c7fa6e98d1
