R.i.p koms [image] Strava leaderboards and routes no longer free | Subscription model the future... Strava strips back free service; leaderboards, segment analysis and routes now only available to subscribers

[image] Power13: They should have done ads… While I applaud Strava’s decision, I am not defending it over other alternate paths that may have turned out to be better . . . or worse. I’m only suggesting that it is extremely likely that they evaluated many options, including combination offeri…

And … the changes are now live. Wow! It’s much more crappy than I had expected! Losing the ability to see your own results wasn’t something I thought was getting chopped. Also not being able to see your overall place on the leaderboards unless you’re top 10 is just downright mean!

[image] bobmac: What was clear, however, is that business as usual (their prior Summit offerings) was a failure so changes are necessary for the company to survive and prosper. Agreed 100%. I really wish their prior Premium offerings had value…I’d MUCH rather have a one-stop place for everyt…

i don’t see it this way at all. trainingpeaks hasn’t updated their ui since 1995 and other platforms are in the same arena (insufferably unpleasant to use). they don’t offer anything over strava that’s useful in my training. i’m on trainerroad and also a paying strava memeber and will continue to…

what’s ‘garmin connect’? jokes aside, garmin’s platform is terrible and was enough for me to leave garmin altogether. every garmin user i know never look at any data on garmin connect. it all about the output to strava.

[image] dhellman: I’m similarly annoyed that with my NYT subscription I still see ads. I NYT subscription is ~$220/yr (I’m a subscriber as well). About 2/3 of NYT revenue comes from subscription; 1/3 from ads. The question for you to think about is whether you would be willing to pay $33…

It does work. The only place it doesn’t work is in the CEO’s arrogant and misplaced ideological mind. Someone should tell him that there’s a huge difference between Wikipedia suddenly promoting completely random ads and Strava deciding to have cycling/sports specific ads. That and that anyone who c…

After looking at my first post change ride today, I had a new thought. I think this change may decrease the number of new users to Strava. When I stated cycling a few years ago I started out using Map my Ride but switched to Strava because I liked their segments and how I could track my improvemen…
