They have VC backing, and that backing is likely losing patience in the current market.

For wanting money, they're extremely slow to add new features, extremely slow to fix bugs, steal features from other companies, and are generally a pile of crap. I did like to compare myself to other riders I know, but they're not always in the top 10. In my experience, the top 10 is often full of cheaters (on the running side there are huge numbers of obvious bike rides by people who do it again as soon as you flag it) so that's not much of a draw.

It will be interesting to see how Strava's perception of its value intersects with reality.
