Why are there hearts now?

Question

why did they have to add hearts 😭

Answer 1

Bunny

So, y'all recognize practice is necessary for learning, yet install a feature that *discourages* that very thing. I'm positive most people don't sit around and wait for their hearts to refill. It's frustrating and, if anything, it merely encourages going to a different platform that doesn't have this limitation.

Answer 2

Now I know that I’m not the only OG here

Answer 3

I completely agree with Khadijah, Hearts are considered very useless and only a repellent for learners, I feel like sololearn added hearts to encourage people to "go PRO' thus giving them financial stability, but the problem is this is more likely to discourage loyal learners and to repel any new aspiring programmers, thus decreasing traffic, thus decreasing their revenue, the fact of the matter is, since you made practice mandatory, that is enough, you don't need unnecessary stagnation to gather up and behold the information, you already established it with practice

Answer 5

I’m sorry to hear you find them annoying, Eliot Lemaire ! And yes, you are always welcomed and encouraged to send feedback to us (the email Jayakrishna linked is perfect).

The cool thing about Hearts is that we have opened up the in-lesson code practices to all users! So something that was PRO only before is now available for everyone, and it’s a mandatory part of the lessons since all of the feedback we’ve seen shows how valuable and necessary practice is for learning.

I hope that the Hearts grow on you and you get the most out of them!

Answer 6

Especially sometimes we find some questions that are false like
Fill in the blanks to print "hello"
Print (.........
I writed "hello") many times and i lost all the hearts n waited so much so that the hearts refill
And finally i tied with "hello" without the parenthese )so the correct answer for them is print("hello" and not print("hello") that's not my mistake but theirs, why should i wait the hearts refill then? hhhhh

Answer 7

It's been a year. It's safe to say this won't change and it has nothing to do with actually caring about learning, and everything to do with profits to push as many users toward Pro as possible.
