I just look after the ride. What I want to be going on during the ride is what I concentrate on. If I'm breaking my legs chasing some jersey up the road, do I want to know I'm slower than last week? No.
LOL at the OP complaint, though. Probably uploading to Strava once a week is sufficient for tracking training. Or just don't look at what others are doing. All I ever look at is average watts and My Results on the segment leaderboard. We tried for one downhill KOM on our tandem. Our careful planning and setup for the segment got us the bottom of the first page. The rest of the first page was singles putting 350 to over 400 watts on an almost straight descent. Kinda makes one wonder. 60 X 11?
