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

that was a great read, sums up my feelings perfectly

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.

[image] dendroica1: 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. Yep I actually thought the same thing this morning. I think it’ll kill off new users massively - although people might still jump on a…

Interesting topic. I think the problem with Strava isn’t that they are trying to make money, I’d gladly pay for a good service. It’s that they spent years without any developments even for paying users, have very poor communication, have so much potential to monetize with huge user base, but somehow…

So it’s the same price as Trainerroad? Yeah, I know which one actually delivers continual value. I’ve been a subscriber to Strava in the past and it was a stagnant platform… but you know, trust us now, because now we really mean it?
