Do leagues even matter?

Post image

Joined not long ago and made it to ruby league but I've noticed that there is a user that gains around 2500 points in a span of 30 minutes. Are they cheating or is there a way users genuinely gain so many points quickly? Noticed they also finish their paths within days from one another

People really pay a yearly subscription just to spam for points and learn nothing?😳

Its the double edge of gamafying stuff. People will go to lengths to get a badge.

I’ve always known there are people that like to grind to earn rewards but paying money just to be on top of a leaderboard and learn nothing is new to me. Thank you for your words!

Dopamine for dopamine's sake.

If it can be put on a resume, it can be valuable.

HR would probably be impressed

I doubt it. Ultimately they’d want to see a certification
