I've ignored this thread for the past few days, but I'm bored so I'll share my experience.
I knew of Anki since high school, when I was using it to learn the Kanji quite successfully for the time I actually did it.
Then I went to college and I struggled a bit, so I began using Anki for everything. Then I read about the origins of SRS, and how Supermemo actually has a superior algorithm and quite a few more features, so I bought that program too and began storing everything on it and using it's "incremental learning" feature to try to learn new stuff.
Pro tip: it's bullshit.
I failed at college catastrophically, dropped out and became a NEET.
Spaced repetition is not superior to learning and using knowledge in the context you actually need it.
It might be useful to learn a few things you don't actually use often in your life such as people's birthdays, random quotes and so on, but it's useless in the context of college and functional knowledge.
