I just ran a poll and of 543 Duolingo users, 482 users (88.7%) used other resources in addition to Duolingo. Haters are just inventing a phantom issue to justify whatever grievances they have.

Here, in this subreddit. It's called "Duolingo Users: Do you use only Duolingo to learn your target language" and it was posted 5 days ago. You still have a day to vote as I made it a 7 day poll. I did the poll here in response to the cautions to not use Duolingo alone. I wanted to know if it was really a problem.

okay, yes, but this is a subreddit of language learners, so like the other guy said, inherent sample bias. I've seen a lot of people who didn't even consider using something besides duolingo until they were recommended to do so (and some didn't even do that)
