Is Anki a Good Tool for Learning?

There used to be posts on Anki where people would say, you know, what has Anki helped you do? And almost all of the responses were that it helped them pass an exam. Nobody was really saying, oh, it helped me deepen my understanding of some abstract concept. It takes away focus from the fact that learning is supposed to be intrinsically pleasurable. If you're working out, and then you eat a piece of chocolate, what's the point? That's not what you're supposed to do. You need to sort of be looking for how this activity is intrinsically pleasurable in and of itself. Otherwise, I don't believe that you'll ever get there.
