I don't care what Strava does, its their product to sell/give away as they see fit. A group of us used it for the social aspect and the segment timing but we all have garmin and we can do all what we want on Connect so we are good not paying and dumping Strava.
I hope they get themselves figured out and even though I will choose not to use it I hope they make it work. It really is a brilliant concept. I will be interested in seeing how their future plays out this time.
