Considering that anki can always be forked if development goes being hostile towards users I think this is a net positive. The most common complaint among new users is the learning curve and the UI. Both can be solved and Anki can flourish to the bigger level. I say this as someone who does 300+ cards every day.

Why would you need push notifications on AnkiDroid?
Duolingo effect, people will forget to do the learning if they are not reminded
It was a crazy year. Spent half of it living in my college building (Read about huge nationwide student protests in Serbia where students blocked all colleges because of the government corruption for almost 9 months).

Spaced repetitions only work if you use them every day with minimal or no breaks. If the algorithm actually does the recall probability very well like FSRS does, you will keep failing the cards if you don't do them consistently. I learned the hard way where I almost forgot like 80% of my spanish deck that I was certain that I will be able to retire and recall it. But nope, even that word that you felt was rock solid in your memory is gonna fade, so just trust the algorithm.
On chronic coffee consumption: "One meta-analysis found that RR coffee 0.757, RR caffeine 0.721 (12). Another one found RR 0.76, with an optimal protective effect at ∼400 mL/day (13). In comparison to many drug treatments that have an effect size in this range, this is not a small effect size. A risk reduction of 20 to 25% is quite impressive."
As if I needed another reason to drink coffee.
The problem is, most Americans don't drink coffee, they drink sugary mix with coffee flavor

This comes from decades of teachers misremembering what the rule was, and eventually it morphed into the Wikipedia specific form we see today - the actual rule is that you cannot cite an encyclopaedia in an academic paper. full stop.
Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and therefore should not be cited.
Wikipedia is the only encyclopaedia most people have used in the last 20 years, therefore Wikipedia = encyclopaedia in most people's minds.
There's nothing wrong with using an encyclopaedia for learning or introducing yourself to a topic (in fact this is what teachers told students to do). And there's nothing specifically wrong about Wikipedia either.
That's why you should cite Grokipedia instead /s
I would assume many consumers are gonna have to switch to more of DIY approach for many tasks that required some domain expertise. For example, most of my friends completely stopped buying useless skincare products because chatgpt would make them a table of INCI list and explain them the benefit of the ingredient. Turns out most of products are BS. Vitamin C doesn't even penetrate the deeper skin layer, it just evaporates on your skin. My bet is that many companies will have hard time marketing on customer's naivety.
