I’m curious to hear other people’s thoughts here. If you’re reading this, you’re a Strava user. Did you read the email Strava sent you regarding changes to their free service vs. subscription service? Will this change how you use Strava? Are you willing to pay for things like segment leaderboards and route builder? Why or why not?

Myself, I really like the change and hope it works out in longevity and success for Strava. I love this platform dearly, for many reasons. And as outlined by their leadership in the email sent out, a solution needed to be rolled out now, or else the platform would be dead in a year or two due to lack of funding. 

In my opinion, we are all happy to pay for things like Netflix, Spotify, Zwift, Cloud Storage, and so much else - why should Strava be free? Especially when we aren’t victim to a deluge of advertisements every time we log on, like the other “free” platforms you’re probably trying to compare Strava to. They can have my $8 a month without complaint if it means Strava stays in our lives, and hopefully improves on their existing platform as well. Honestly if you made it this far, thanks for reading, this was longer than I intended. God speed.
