Ask HN: Why don't you use spaced repetition to learn, despite its effectiveness?
I’m curious to understand why. If you’ve heard of or tried spaced repetition but decided not to use it, what led you to that decision?
Was it too time-consuming, did it not fit your learning style, or was there some other factor at play? I’m hoping to go beyond the simple "I didn't know about it" or "it doesn't work for me" answers to better understand the practical barriers and perceptions.
