I'm pretty sure that this post is a total load of bs.
It's real...

I like how they don't label the y-axis at all to give any sense of scale. This graph could be showing a jump from 10 to 22 people. 🤷
That's what I was thinking. Probably not that small, but not a lot it's a notoriously hard language to learn. You have to be pretty stupid or nieve to think you're learning it on Duolingo.
Could it be just bots?
My niece is one of tiktok's victims and she is as young and lazy to even construct herself a sandwich. Nevermind learning a language as confusing and backwards as mandarin or Cantonese.
I've heard Mandarin at least is pretty straightforward, it's just the writing system that causes problems.
